    oxidation
    oxidize; oxidizing; oxidized. Compare with reduction. Oxidation is the loss of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion. Oxidation is accompanied by an increase in oxidation number on the atoms, molecules, or ions that lose electrons.

    oxidation
    The term oxidation originally meant a reaction in which oxygen combines chemically with another substance. More generally, oxidation is a part of a chemical reaction in which a reactant loses electrons (increase oxidation number). Simultaneous reduction of a different reactant must occur (redox reac...

    Oxidation
    in a broad sense oxidation is the increase in positive valence of any element in a substance. On the basis of the electron theory, oxidation is a process in which an element losses electrons. In a narrow sense, oxidation means the chemical addition of oxy

    Oxidation
    Swimming pool chemistry: The 'burning up' of organic waste and compounds in the pool water. It also refers to what you may see on your metal pool surfaces if your water is corrosive. Rust is a form of this kind of oxidation.

    oxidation
    (1) A reaction in which there is an increase in valence resulting from a loss of electrons. Contrast with reduction. (2) A corrosion reaction in which the corroded metal forms an oxide; usually applied to reaction with a gas containing elemental oxygen, such as air.

    Oxidation
    Originally, oxidation meant a chemical reaction in which oxygen combines with another substance. The usage of the word has been broadened to include any reaction in which electrons are transferred. The substance which gains electrons is the oxidising agent

    Oxidation
    The action of combining any substance with oxygen. Oxidation may be rapid, as in an explosion; of moderate speed, as in the burning of solid fuels; or slow, as in the rusting of metals.
