According to the electronic concept, a reaction in which loss of electrons from an atom or an ion takes place is called oxidation.
Consider reaction, 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
In this reaction, the valency of magnesium is increased’ from zero (in the atomic state) to + 2 (in MgO).
i.e. Mg0 → Mg2+ + 2 e–
In this reaction, magnesium is losing electrons. And hence oxidation of magnesium takes place.
