oxidation happen by increasing O molecules or losing 2H or by losing electrons...
e.g :
Ag___> (Ag+1) + e -1
here Ag has lost one electron so become oxidized

When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
When elemental Lithium metal reacts with Elemental Bromine what is oxidized and what is reduced?
The lithium is oxidized an the bromine is reduced. In a chemical reaction involving a metal in elemental form, the metal will be oxidized.
In the reaction of hydrogen with iodine which atom is oxidized?
Hydrogen is oxidized because an electron is removed from it.
What substance is being oxidized when sodium reacts with chlorine gas?
Sodium is oxidized to Na+ ion and Chlorine is reduced to Cl- ion. Sodium chloride is the final product.
Why is there a dull white coating on magnesium?
being oxidized by O2
If a chemical compound becomes oxidized it?
loses electrons
Is oxidized metal organic compound?
No. Only compounds containing carbon are organic. "Oxidized metal" is merely a metal with a coating of a corresponding metal compound, usually an oxide.
The removal of oxygen from a compound can be accomplished by the process of?
by the sulfur on oxidized carbon
What is a reduced compound?
A reduced compound is a compound that came into contact with another chemical, experienced a chemical reaction, and lost an electron in the reaction. Reduced compounds are often oxidized.
What compound can be oxidized by both Benedicts solution and Tollens reagent?
All the compounds having free aldehyde group as reducing sugars.
How can you tell by looking at structure which molecules are 'most reduced' or 'most oxidized'?
The molecules that are most reduced will have the most number of hydrogens and the molecules that are most oxidized will have more oxygens around them. For example an Alkane is the most reduced followed by alkene, aldehyde, alcohol, ketone, carboxylic acid and carbon-dioxide is the most oxidized organic compound.
How are oxidation's and reduction related?
They must always occur in the same reaction; if one element or compound is oxidized, another one must be reduced.
Is Zn oxidized or reduced?
Oxidized.
What is a reducer in an experiment I'm talking about a reducer like glycerol?
A reducer or reducing agent is something that can lose electrons and be oxidized so that another compound can gain electrons and become reduced. For example: glycerol can be oxidized to glyceraldehyde allowing for NAD+ to be reduced to NADH.
Why does glucose oxidized chemically rather than oxidized by burning?
Ah, but glucose can be oxidized by burning. It is quite possible to melt glucose, and ignite it. Why woudn't you want that to happen inside your body? Do you have a boiler in your abdomen? an ignition chamber perhaps?--You do not. Chemical oxidation is the most efficient way an organism can get useful energy out of a reduced compound like glucose, but it is by no means the only way to oxidize it.
What reactant is oxidized in respiration?
Glucose is oxidized into CO2. Oxygen is reduced into Water
Is glucose oxidized or reduced in cellular respiration?
Oxidized.
