Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion. Oxidation occurs when the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion is increased. ... In this reaction, hydrogen is being oxidized and fluorine is being reduced.
Explanation:
The two major oxidation reactions taking place in our day to day life are corrosion of metals and rancidity of food items. When a metal is being attacked by the substances around it as moisture, water, air, acids, etc.; this process of degradation of the metals is known as corrosion of metals.
