no, that is oxidation. Reduction is when the metal is reduced from its metal oxide to its elemental form. As turning rust into iron.

Reduction is the gain of oxygen by a metal true or false?
False
What is the word for removing oxygen from metals?
Either deoxidation or reduction would be a suitable word. However, note that from a pure metal, oxygen can not be removed, because none is present.
What type of reaction happens when a metal gain oxygens?
It is an oxidation/reduction reaction. The metal loses electrons to become positively charged (it is oxidized) and the oxygen gains those electrons to become negatively charged (it is reduced). You end up with a metal oxide.
If you remove oxygen from a metal oxide what is the reaction type?
the reaction type will (reduction) taken away oxygen from the reaction
What is removed in oxidation of alcohol?
OIL RIG. Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain (of electrons, or of Hydrogen) Oxidation is gain of oxygen, reduction is loss of oxygen. In answer to your question, oxidation of a primary alkanol (alcohol) gives you an alkanal or aldehyde, and what is removed is an atom of H.
Which type of reaction is when zinc metal reacts with oxygen gas?
Redox reaction (reduction-oxidation).
What occurs in a reduction rection?
It's the opposite of an oxidation reaction; therefore, there's a gain of electrons or a loss of oxygen
What is the difference between oxidation reaction and a decomposition reaction?
Oxidation reaction is a process in which the atom or ion is increasing its oxidation sate. This includes a loss of electrons. Seen in the product side of a overall equation. The species that are being oxidized are the reduction agents. Reduction reaction is a process in which the atom or ion is decreasing its oxidation state. This includes a gain of electrons. They are seen in the reactants side through the overall equation.The species that are being reduced are the oxidizing agents.
When a metal is oxidized do it gain electrons?
Yes it does - from the oxygen atom as well as it's own.
What happens at the cathode in an electrolytic cell?
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
What is the name for a substance that gains an electron or loses oxygen?
This substance is called an Oxidant or an Oxidising Agent .It oxidises the other substance and reduces itself .
What happens during a reduction of a atom or molecule?
The Electrode That Removes Ions From Solution
