Oxidation is defined as the interaction between oxygen molecules and all the different substances they may contact, from metal to living tissue. Technically, however, with the discovery of electrons, oxidation came to be more precisely defined as the loss of at least one electron when two or more substances interact.
What changes in this reaction is the oxidation state of these atoms. The oxidation state of carbon increases from +2 to +4, while the oxidation state of the hydrogen decreases from +1 to 0. Oxidation and reduction are therefore best defined as follows.he term reduction comes from the Latin stem meaning to lead back.. Anything that that leads back to magnesium metal therefore involves reduction. The reaction between magnesium oxide and carbon at 2000C to form magnesium metal and carbon monoxide is an example of the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal.
