Answer:
The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new chemical products is called <u>Oxidation</u>.
Explanation:
Oxidation reactions are defined as,
In terms of Inorganic chemistry:
(i) <u>Removal of Electrons: </u>
Example: Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2 e⁻
(ii) <u>Addition of Oxygen:</u>
Example: 2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO
In terms of Organic chemistry:
(i) <u>Addition of Electrons: </u>
Example: Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻
(ii) <u>Addition of Hydrogen:</u>
Example: H₂CCH₂ + H₂ → H₃CCH₃
