How is oxidation caused?
oxidation is caused with the addition of an oxygen atom
Is oxidation a reaction between iron water and oxygen?
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.

How do you convert a neutral oxygen atom to an anion carrying a charge of 2?
During oxidation an oxygen atom gain two electrons.
How is an oxyanion named?
it is named for the number of oxygen atoms in the ion and/or oxidation state of the atom to which the oxygen is bonded.
