Oksüüduse
Oksüüduse refers to the process of oxidation, a fundamental chemical reaction. In this process, a substance loses electrons, leading to an increase in its oxidation state. Oxidation is often accompanied by a simultaneous reduction, where another substance gains electrons and experiences a decrease in its oxidation state. These two processes, oxidation and reduction, always occur together and are collectively known as redox reactions.
A common example of oxidation is the rusting of iron. When iron comes into contact with oxygen
The term "oxidation" was originally coined because oxygen was frequently involved in these reactions. However, it
