Which reaction are of oxidation reaction and are of exothermic nature?

These are not mutually exclusive. A reaction can be oxidation and exothermic. Oxidation reactions involve a change in oxidation state (charge) which is interpreted as a loss of electrons. Exothermic reactions release heat energy.


Is oxidation endothermic?

An oxidation reaction is also known as a redox reaction. Not all redox reactions give off heat. Some redox reactions give off heat and some require heat from an outside source for the reaction to be completed.
