The following are the useful effects of oxidation--->
1.Aluminium Oxide which is useful in nature for utensils are formed only due to Aluminium's Oxidation.
2. Respiration which is an essential process of body's metabolism occurs only due to oxidation of food.
3. Oxidation(Controlled) also helps in Burning of fuel.

Concept of oxidation and reduction?
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
What are the differences between fatty acid synthesis and beta-oxidation?
Beta Oxidation--> Oxidation, Hydrolysis, Oxidation, Cleavage Fatty Acid Synthesis--> Cyle transferase, Dehydration, Reduction, Reduction
Is reduction physical or chemical?
Reduction, the opposite of oxidation, is chemical.
When an atom looses an electron what is called?
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
How to find the Oxidation and reduction?
oxidation is the taking away of an electron, while reduction is gaining and electron
Concept of oxidation and reduction?

What is the advantages of oxidation of carbohydrate?
what is advantages oxidation of carbohydrates?
HCl plus NaOH reduction or oxidation?
It is neither oxidation nor reduction it is simply a double displacement reaction.
What are the differences between fatty acid synthesis and beta-oxidation?
Beta Oxidation--> Oxidation, Hydrolysis, Oxidation, Cleavage Fatty Acid Synthesis--> Cyle transferase, Dehydration, Reduction, Reduction

How do the definitions of oxidation and reduction differ?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion. Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
How do you figure out if a reaction is an oxidation or reduction reaction?
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode?
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode - yes, it is correct.
What do half reactions show?
They show the oxidation an reduction halves of a reaction
