OXIDATION

A chemical reaction in which ions are transferring electrons, to increase positive valence. Oxidation represents the decrease of electrons when there is a reaction from an ion, atom, or molecule. This process happens when there is an elevation in the ion, atom, or molecule during the state of oxidation. Reduction is known as the contrasting process and happens there is an increase in elections or an loss of ions, atoms, or molecules in the oxidation state.
