To understand the effects of oxidation state and its effect on everyday life we need to understand oxidation and more so the related reaction reduction as well.
The reduction and oxidation reaction or redox reaction is a chemical reaction during which the oxidation state of two or more of the reactants change. Oxidation reaction is not only about just combining with oxygen.
Most redox reactions do not even involve oxygen at all.
The oxidation state of an atom or icon can be thought of as its electrical charge and in simple terms a neutral atom is in oxidation state zero. An ion with a positive charge has a positive oxidation state overall loses an electron and it has been oxidized to oxidation state 1+ and becomes a positive ion.
Oxidation in the context of a redox reaction refers to the oxidation state of an atom being increased.
Conversely reduction refers to oxidation state of an atom being reduced.

These coupled reactions are known as redox reaction. When a substance exposes to oxygen, it gets oxidised. We can observe many oxidation reactions in our daily life like corrosion of metal, rancidity and combustion.
