These reactions are characterized by an exchange of electrons.This process occurs because of the difference in the activity or reactivity of the different materials, which exchange electrons.This transfer of electrons occurs in all reactions where elements combine and become compounds. It is most obvious in the formation of ionic compounds.
Batteries are specially designed redox reactions in which the two components of the reaction are separated. When connected by a conducting material, the transferred electrons can be made to do work like start a car or run a radio.
