What does oxidation mean in terms of electrons?
Oxidation describes the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion and if it helps you more
What is the difference between oxidation and carbonation?
In lesser terms, oxidation is when a rock or mineral of some sort interacts with oxygen and carbonation is when a rock or mineral interacts with carbon or carbon dioxide.
What kind of chemical reaction is the burning of magnesium in oxygen?
it is the oxidation of Magnesium into Magnesium oxide which appears as a white powder.That is classified as a redox reaction, a term which is a contraction of reduction-oxidation. The magnesium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. The terms refer to the transfer of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so a recipient of electrons, such as oxygen is reduced in the sense that its charge becomes negative.
Which terms identifies the process used by the cell to remove large molecules?
Exocytosis is the process by which large molecules are transported out of the cell.
What is nulle process?
Latin words that mean "no process". In legal terms it means case dismissed due to lack of intrest or ability to prosecute.
Oxidation in terms of oxidation number?
Oxidation number increases when the atom is oxidised, and decreases when it is reduced
The chemical reaction of oxygen and another substance is called?
oxidation in molecular terms, but in more general terms, combustion, aka burning!
Define oxidation and reduction in terms of hydrogen transfer?
Oxidation and reduction in terms of hydrogen transferOxidation is loss of hydrogen.Reduction is gain of hydrogen.

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 is the difference between carbonation and oxidation?
In lesser terms, oxidation is when a rock or mineral of some sort interacts with oxygen and carbonation is when a rock or mineral interacts with carbon or carbon dioxide.

What is Fe and Fe2o3 in terms of chemistry?
The first Fe represents an iron atom in the 0 oxidation state while the Fe in Fe2O3 represents iron ion in the +2 oxidation state
Which process converts oxygen and food into cellular energy?
That process is called as biological oxidation. Glucose is the best example of biological oxidation. Here the end products are same. They are water and carbon bi oxide. In the biological oxidation the energy is released in step wise fashion in multiple steps. In the chemical oxidation the energy is released in single step. The amount of energy is exactly same in both the processes. Chemical oxidation is like jumping from the top of the building. Biological oxidation is like coming down via steps. You come down at the same place. But you may end up in braking your legs in the process of jumping down. In biological oxidation, you do not end up in braking your legs.
What does process mean in medical terms?
Process in medical terms typically means a normal anatomical bone protrusion.
Is the process of addition and subtraction of radical expression with like and unlike terms the same?
The process is the same for addition and subtraction. The process is totally different for like and unlike terms.
Is a tornado a slow process or a rapid process?
In terms of weather a tornado is a very fast process.
