${\huge{\mathfrak{{{\purple{\fbox{\blue{Answer⚡}}}}}}}}$

Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons or increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion. Reduction refers to the gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.

More to know :-

• Oxidation occurs when an atom, molecule, or ion loses one or more electrons in a chemical reaction.
• When oxidation occurs, the oxidation state of the chemical species increases.
• Oxidation doesn't necessarily involve oxygen! Originally, the term was used when oxygen caused electron loss in a reaction. The modern definition is more general.
