Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion. Oxidation occurs when the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion is increased. The opposite process is called reduction, which occurs when there is a gain of electrons or the oxidation state of an atom, molecule, or ion decreases.

Oxidation: A chemical reaction which involves addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen or loss of electron(s) is called as oxidation.
2Mg + O2 →2MgO (addition of oxygen)
H2S + Br2 → 2HBr + S (removal of hydrogen)
Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e- (loss of electron)
