Answer» <p>Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion.</p><p>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.</p><p>An example of a reaction is that between hydrogen and fluorine gas to form hydrofluoric acid:</p><p>H2 + F2 → 2 HF</p><p>In this reaction, hydrogen is being oxidized and fluorine is being reduced. The reaction may be better understood if it is written in terms of two half-reactions.</p><p>H2 → 2 H+ + 2 e-</p><p>F2 + 2 e- → 2 F-</p><p>Note there is no oxygen anywhere in this reaction!</p> <p>The process of oxidizing or any substance is oxidized is known as oxidation.</p>
