Answer 1

$\large\bigstar\underline\bold{Question?}$

• What do you mean by oxidation ? Explain with suitable example?

$\large\bigstar\underline\bold{Answer:}$

• In an oxidation-reduction, or redox, reaction, one atom or compound will steal electrons from another atom or compound. A classic example of a redox reaction is rusting.

• Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion.

• Oxidation is used in a wide variety of industries such as in the production of cleaning products.

$\large\bigstar\underline\bold{Examples:}$

• When rusting happens, oxygen steals electrons from iron. Oxygen gets reduced while iron gets oxidized.

• A good example is the thermite reaction, in which iron atoms in ferric oxide lose (or give up) O atoms to Al atoms, producing Al2O3.

Answer 2

A classic example of the old definition of oxidation is when iron combines with oxygen to form iron oxide or rust. The iron is said to have oxidized into rust. The chemical reaction is: 2 Fe + O2 → Fe2O3. The iron metal is oxidized to form the iron oxide known as rust
