Answer 1

Answer:

                 The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new chemical products is called Oxidation.

Explanation:

                     Oxidation reactions are defined as,

In terms of Inorganic chemistry:

                 (i) Removal of Electrons:

                            Example:  Mg  →  Mg²⁺  +  2 e⁻

                (ii) Addition of Oxygen:

                            Example:  2 Mg  + O₂  →  2 MgO

In terms of Organic chemistry:

                (i) Addition of Electrons:

                            Example:  Cl₂  +  2 e⁻   →   2 Cl⁻

                (ii) Addition of Hydrogen:

                            Example:  H₂CCH₂  +  H₂    →   H₃CCH₃
