Answer:-

Redox reaction

Explanation:-

Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons

Reduction refers to the gain of electrons.

When both oxidation and reduction occurs together, one species loses electron and another gains electron.

We thus combine the two words REDuction and OXidation to give the name REDOX reaction.
