No. Oxidation is a redox reaction that characterizes a loss of electrons whereas Oxygenation is the addition of oxygen molecules.

What is the difference between combustion and ignition?

combustion is the complete oxidation of organic compound into carbon dioxide and water molecules in presence of oxygen gas while oxidation is the addition of oxygen in a compound or with an element the loss of electron from an atom or ion is also oxidation but it is not the combustion.all oxidizing reactions are not combustion reaction.....but all combustion reactions are oxidizing..oxidation reaction does not involve heat.....combustion reactions involve heat....


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 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 chemistry meaning of reduced?

Reduction is a process that occurs in a chemical reaction that goes hand-in-hand with a process called oxidation. Elements begin the reaction with a certain oxidation state, however sometimes after they react to form a new product they assume a different oxidation state. The only way to do this is through a transfer of electrons. In a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction, the element that gains electrons is called the oxidizing agent, and the element losing electrons is called the reducing agent. The oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent, and the reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent. Breakdown: Losing electrons is oxidation. Gaining electrons is reduction.


What is the opposite of combustion?

The opposite compound in the carbon cycle is carbon dioxide. (We breathe in air, remove the oxygen, breathe out carbon dioxide.) The opposites of reactions that use oxygen (aerobic) are those that don't (anaerobic).

What is the definition of Oxidation in terms of oxidation number?

Oxidation refers to the process in which an atom loses electrons, causing an increase in its oxidation number. This results in the atom being oxidized, as it becomes more positively charged and forms a more positive oxidation state.


The chemical reaction of oxygen and another substance is called?

oxidation in molecular terms, but in more general terms, combustion, aka burning!


Oxidation in terms of oxidation number?

Oxidation is the process in which an atom loses electrons, resulting in an increase in its oxidation number. This occurs when an element undergoes chemical reactions where it loses electrons to become more positively charged. The oxidation number reflects the number of electrons that an atom has gained or lost in a compound.

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 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.
