Answer:
Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion. Oxidationoccurs when the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion is increased. The opposite process is called reduction, which occurs when there is a gain of electrons or the oxidation state of an atom, molecule, or ion decreases
Explanation:
Reduction is a chemical reaction that involves the gaining of electrons by one of the atoms involved in the reaction between two chemicals. ... An example of a reduction is when iron reacts with oxygen, forming iron oxides commonly known as rust. In that example, the iron is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced.
