(In terms of oxygen) In the reaction between copper oxide and carbon, the copper oxide is ❌ into copper and the carbon is ❌ into carbon dioxide. The copper oxide is the ❌ and the carbon is the ❌. It is a ❌ reaction.
(In terms of electrons) In the reaction between copper oxide and magnesium, the copper oxide is ❌ into copper and the magnesium is ❌ into magnesium oxide. The copper oxide is the ❌ and the magnesium is the ❌. It is a ❌ reaction.
