What is oxidatiom |
|
Answer» The removal of hydrogen and addition of oxygen in known as oxidation ..and the substance which oxidise the hydrogen is known as oxidising agent Oxidation is any chemical reaction that involves the moving of electrons. Specifically, it means the substance that gives away electrons is oxidized. Normally, this is a reaction between oxygen and a substance such as iron.When iron reacts with oxygen it forms a chemical called rust because it has been oxidized (the iron has lost some electrons) and the oxygen has been reduced (the oxygen has gained some electrons).Oxidation is the loss of electrons.In terms of oxygen transfer, oxidation may be defined as the chemical process in which a substance gains oxygen or loses electrons and hydrogen. |
