Question

What is meaning of Oxidation​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Gaining of oxygen or loss of hydrogen by an element is called as oxidation.

Example:-

C(s) + O2 (g) ---------> CO2(g)

Here, oxygen combines with Carbondioxide to form Carbondioxide.

MORE TO KNOW:-

1. Oxidation reactions are also combination reactions. Combination reactions of the reactions in which two or more elements combine to form a new product....

Example:-

Mg2 + O2 ---------> 2MgO

We need to balance the chemical equations on the law of conservation of mass.

For example:-

Mg2 + O2 -------> MgO

Mg = 2 and 0 = 2 Mg = 1

O = 1

So, Multiply the Product side by 2.

Mg2 + O2 -------------> 2MgO

So, law of conservation of mass says that, while balancing a chemical equation, there should be equal number of atoms on both reactant and Product side.

Answer 2

Answer:

☞︎︎︎Oxidation is any chemical reaction that involves the moving of electrons.

☞︎︎︎ Specifically, it means the substance that gives away electrons is oxidized.

☞︎︎︎ Oxygen does not have to be present in a reaction for it to be a redox-reaction.

☞︎︎︎Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
