Heyy dear♥️
Oxidation is the process of addition of oxygen to a substance or removal of hydrogen from a substance. Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
For example, when copper (Cu) is heated in the presence of air, it gets oxidised to form copper oxide (CuO).
2Cu + O2 → 2CuO is a oxidation reaction and Cu is an oxidising agent.
Hope you got it :)
