Oksüdatsiooniprotsessiga
Oksüdatsiooniprotsessiga refers to the process of oxidation in Estonian. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion. This loss of electrons typically results in an increase in the oxidation state of the species undergoing oxidation. Conversely, a reduction process occurs simultaneously, where another species gains electrons, leading to a decrease in its oxidation state. These paired reactions are known as redox reactions.
In biological contexts, oxidation plays a crucial role in metabolism. Cellular respiration, for example, is a
Outside of biology, oxidation is widespread. The rusting of iron is a common example, where iron atoms
