Answer 2

Oxidation is: (2) Gain of oxygen.

- The term oxidation refers to the addition of oxygen to a substance.

- Whenever a substance react with oxygen to form some other compound, we call that the oxidation is taking place.

- Examples of oxidation are:

(i) 2 Mg (s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO (s)

(ii) CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (l)

- So, the correct answer is option (2) Gain of oxygen.
