of metal oxidation

ox·i·da·tion (

-d

1. The combination of a substance with oxygen.

2. A reaction in which the atoms in an element lose electrons and the valence of the element is correspondingly increased.

[French, from oxider, to oxidize, from oxide, oxide; see oxide.]

oxi·dative adj.

oxidational adj

oxidative adj

oxidation (

-d

1. The chemical combination of a substance with oxygen.

2. A chemical reaction in which an atom or ion loses electrons, thus undergoing an increase in valence. Removing an electron from an iron atom having a valence of +2 changes the valence to +3. Compare reduction.
