    Explanation:

    Take for example the following oxidation-reduction reaction:

    2 H2 + O2 - > 2 H2O

    Hydrogen is oxidized, then its oxidation number increased (from 0 to + 1) and lost electrons.

    On the other hand, oxygen is reduced, that is, its oxidation number decreased (from 0 to - 2) and gain the electrons lost by hydrogen.
