oksüdeerivuse
Oksüdeerivuse, also known as oxidation, is a chemical reaction in which a substance loses electrons or gains oxygen. This process is fundamental in various natural and industrial contexts. In biological systems, oxidation is crucial for energy production, particularly in cellular respiration, where glucose is oxidized to produce ATP, the primary energy currency of cells. Oxidation is also a key process in the formation of rust on iron and other metals, as oxygen reacts with the metal to form oxides.
In industrial settings, oxidation is used in the production of chemicals such as sulfuric acid and nitric
Oxidation is often accompanied by reduction, another chemical reaction where a substance gains electrons or loses
