Oxidation is when the material your'e working with, draws the oxygene-atoms from the surroundings into itself, so that the oxygene becomes a part of the matter.
Here's a few examples:
When you put magnesium(Periodic number 12, alkali metal) together with water, it reacts like this:
H20+Mg=MgO2+H
The thing that happens when you put the two materiels together, is that the magnesium begins to draw the oxygene-atoms in the water to itself, so that it becomes Mg02 (an oxid). So basically, a oxid is just a matter that contains oxygene-atomes.
Like:
FeO=iron-oxide.
MgO=Magnesium-oxide.
AlO=Aluminium-oxide.
And so on...
Basically, rust is just iron who have ben oxidated by contact with water.
About the NaNO3 your'e talking about, i don't know. Try looking it up at Wikipedia.

∙ 14y agoOxidation is loss of electrons. In sodium nitrate, the sodium lost 1 electron to the nitrate ion. The result is a neutral compound. The oxidation state of the compound is 0, no net charge. The oxidation state for the sodium is +1. The oxidation state for the nitrate is -1. 1 + (-1) = 0

What chemical formula for chromium III and selenium?
Work this out like this Chroium you are told is oxidation state +3. Selenium is in group 16 along with oxygen and sulfur so it will have a preferred oxidation state of -2. Then balance it, oxidation staes can be treated like ionic charges:- Cr2Se3
What is the reaction when sodium chloride and ammonium nitrate mixed?
sodium chloride + ammonium nitrate would resolve to ammonium chloride and sodium nitrate due to a 2 salt swip swap like commonly demonstrated in "the golden book of chemistry" the No3 and the halgen group Cl swaping out on both compounds and causing the the respective products to be sodium nitrate NaNo3 and ammonium chloride NH4Cl NaCl + Nh4No3 ----> Nh4Cl + NaNo3 };]
What are the products in the equation AgNo3 NaCl AgCl plus NaNo3?
AgNo3 = Silver nitrateNaCl = Sodium chloride (Salt)AgCl = Silver chlorideNaNo3 = Sodium nitrateWhat it becomes if you mix it together depends on conditions like temperature and pressure
Tendency to show -2 oxidation state decreases from sulfur to polonium in group 16Why?
In the larger atoms in this group, the inner electron shells where the electrons in the atoms are most strongly bonded to the positive nuclei are already occupied, and the added electrons that would correspond to the - 2 oxidation state would be fairly weakly bonded. Thus polonium behaves chemically more like a metal than any other element in group 16.
What would you like what type of reactions is 4 Ag plus O2 arrow 2 Ag2O?
2HgO --> 2Hg + O2 is a decomposition reaction, in which Mercury oxide is decomposed into the element mercury and oxygen gas. A decomposition reaction is one in which a more complex substance is broken down into its simpler components.
What is the oxidation numbers for O?
O standing for oxygen can have multiple oxidation numbers depending on what it is bonded to, in most cases it has a negative 2 oxidation number but in certain cases like peroxides it can have a negative 1 oxidation state.

Is there an example for an element having oxidation state zero in a compound?
Yes, inert gases like neon have zero oxidation numbers. This is why they are non-reactive.
What is the state oxidation of -2?
An element which can gain 2 electrons, like Oxygen or Sulfur
What element has a plus 2 oxidation number?
those elements which can donate two electrons will possess plus two oxidation state like calcium , magnesium ,etc...
What is the chemical equation of radium and oxygen?
Radium has an oxidation state of +2, Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2.....so it'll look like this Skeleton equation: Ra + O2 --> RaO.... Balanced equation 2Ra + O2---> 2RaO

+5

What is oxidation of iron is commonly referred to as?
A measure of the degree of oxidation of an atom in a substance. It is defined as the charge an atom might be imagined to have when electrons are counted according to an agreed-upon set of rules: (1) the oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero; (2) for a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion; (3) hydrogen has an oxidation state of 1 and oxygen has an oxidation state of -2 when they are present in most compounds. (Exceptions to this are that hydrogen has an oxidation state of -1 in hydrides of active metals, e.g. LiH, and oxygen has an oxidation state of -1 in peroxides, e.g. H2O2); (4) the algebraic sum of oxidation states of all atoms in a neutral molecule must be zero, while in ions the algebraic sum of the oxidation states of the constituent atoms must be equal to the charge on the ion. For example, the oxidation states of sulfur in H2S, S8(elementary sulfur), SO2, SO3, and H2SO4 are, respectively: -2, 0, +4, +6 and +6. The higher the oxidation state of a given atom, the greater is its degree of oxidation; the lower the oxidation state, the greater is its degree of reduction.
What is the oxidation number for hydrgen?
It has three oxidation numbers.They are like this. -1,0,+1
What is the oxidation number for BaSO4?
The oxidation number for BaSO4 is 6. It goes as follows: +2 for Ba +6 for S -2 for O
Does lysine contain positive nitrogen?
Like all other amino acids it contains nitrogen. Though in this case its in the 3- oxidation state.
