Answer
Oxidation in terms of oxygen transfer: Oxidation is gain of oxygen
Example: in the extraction of iron ore iron(III) oxide (oxidizing agent) oxidises CO to CO2
Oxidation in terms of hydrogen transfer: Oxidation is gain of hydrogen
Example ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal
Oxidation interms of electron transfer: Oxidation is loss of electron
Example Cu2+ reduced to Cu while Mg is oxidized to Mg2+ by loss of electrons.
Cu2+ Mg ----- Cu + Mg2+
