No. Oxidation is the loss of electrons by an atom, or equivalently an increase in the oxidation number of that atom. Rust formation is one example of oxidation.

What is a property of a combustion reaction?
A combustion reaction is an oxidation reaction - combustion need oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
What kind of reaction occurs when a molecule of glucose reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water?
Respiration.
Why rusting of iron is an oxidation reaction?
It is in fact a 'redox' reaction - it is both a reduction and an oxidation reaction. This is because certain elements within the reaction lose electrons, while others gain them. Therefore parts of the reaction are both reductions and oxidations.
What is the difference between combustion and ignition?
combustion is the complete oxidation of organic compound into carbon dioxide and water molecules in presence of oxygen gas while oxidation is the addition of oxygen in a compound or with an element the loss of electron from an atom or ion is also oxidation but it is not the combustion.all oxidizing reactions are not combustion reaction.....but all combustion reactions are oxidizing..oxidation reaction does not involve heat.....combustion reactions involve heat....
Methane plus oxygen equals carbon dioxide plus water what type of reaction is this?
rapid oxidation aka combustion aka burning process
What type of property causes iron to rust?
An oxidation reaction (reaction with oxygen) in the presence of water.
What is a property of a combustion reaction?
A combustion reaction is an oxidation reaction - combustion need oxygen; the products are water and carbon dioxide.
What reaction takes place in the presence of oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water?
This is an oxidation reaction as combustion (burning).
What kind of reaction occurs when a molecule of glucose reacts with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water?
Respiration.
What is a reaction involving oxygen which is not oxidation?
Water or H2O is not an oxidizing reaction. Instead two oxygen modecules bond to a single hydrogen atom to form the molecule.
What rust the result of a chemical reaction?
Rusting is a chemical reaction because it is irreversible. Rust or iron oxide is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in water.
What are the products in a burning candles chemical reaction?
The final products are carbon dioxide and water if the burning is complete.The burning is an oxidation reaction (a reaction with oxygen).
How does water rust a nail?
In the presence of oxygen a reaction occur (oxidation) and the hydrated iron oxide is produced.
When iron gets wet it reacts with oxygen to form?
Rusting is an oxidation reaction; rust (iron oxide) is formed in the presence of water and oxygen.
Why the formation of water can be classified as a synthesis combustion or oxidation-reduction reaction?
The formation of water can be classified as a combustion reaction because hydrogen is heated in oxygen, and it is considered a synthesis reaction because two elements - hydrogen and oxygen - combine to form 1 compound - water.
What is the reaction between a metal's surface and oxygen called?
When anything combines with oxygen, the process is called oxidation. When iron oxidizes, it forms rust. In other metals, oxidation as well as other chemical changes can be referred to as tarnish.
What chemical combination of a substance with oxygen is?
This is called oxidation, i.e. when iron reacts with oxygen iron oxide is formed. Also, combustion could be included: methane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water
