Haha, your too good at this. They occur in equal measure, because for one to take place your must have the other.

Red-Half - Ag+(aq) + 1e --> Ag(s) Ox-Half - Cu(s) --> Cu+2(aq) + 2e Overall Rxn: 2Ag+(aq) + Cu(s) --> 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq) This is in relation to voltaic cells though. Ag being the cathode, and Cu being the anode.

Lol, no, I was talking about oxidation and reduction reactions, especially those relating to electrochemistry. I guessed redox because an element gains an electron, thus the electron loses energy. Oxidation on the other hand would require an input of energy to remove an electron. So I guessed...

Seems like a strange question, but it just appeared on one of my tests. My guess would be redox, but what is the logic behind the answer? Thanks for the help!
