Question

Give reason for the following:
Oxidation does not mean the combination with oxygen only

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidation is the process of addition of oxygen or loss of hydrogen. Oxidation is also the loss of electrons. So it would be incorrect if we say that oxidation is only the combination with oxygen.

Hope it helps..!! ^_^

Answer 2

Yes, Oxidation is the gain of Oxygen and/or loss of Hydrogen.
