Answers (1)

best_answer

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.

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.
