Answer 2

Answer:

This is because oxidation can be defined as:

An increase in oxygen atoms

a decrease in hydrogen atom

an increase in oxidation number of a certain element in a compound.

Thus,it can be said that all combustion reactions are oxidation reactions as oxygen is being added but not all oxidation reactions are combustion reactions.
