Question

Identify the following as either reduction or oxidation:

a. 2I^- -> I2 + 2e- (my answer oxidized)
b. Zn2+ + 2e^- -> Zn (reduced)

could someone check my answers? I remember OIL RIG (oxidation is loss, reduction is gain.) but I'm still uncertain of what I answered.
anyone?
That's the same thing i chose but I'm confused.
