Answer:
It occurs only with the addition of oxygen, but if any oxygen containing substance is broken down in the equation, oxygen can be added. It also occurs when an atom, molecule, or ion loses one or more electrons in a chemical reaction. When this occurs, the oxidation count of the substance increases, so it doesn't necessarily involve oxygen.
