how to find oxidation or reduction?
It oxidizes the material that gives electrons. It forms a chemical called rust when iron reacts with oxygen because it has been oxidized (the iron has lost some electrons) and the oxygen has been reduced (the oxygen has gained some electrons). The cause of reduction is oxidation.

When oxidation occurs atoms of Oxygen increase or Hydrogen atoms decrease. Similarly when the Hydrogen atoms increase or Oxygen atoms Decrease. Both of them are togetherly called Redox Reaction.
