The chemical process of oxidation occurs when a particular material or a compound combines with oxygen, and in the process, gives up a few of its electrons. As a rule, an addition of oxygen has to compulsorily be with a certain amount of reduction. Examples of oxidation include burning and rusting although, both occur at very different speeds. Oxidation reactions are also known as Redox (the word come from reduction-oxidation) reactions, those in which the oxidation number of atoms is altered. Therefore oxidation essentially refers to the loss of an electron by an atom, a molecule or an ion. Certain materials that have the ability to oxidize other substances are known as being oxidative and comprise of oxidizers, oxidizing agents, oxidants and the like. A chemical look at these oxidants reveals that mostly, these substances always have very high oxidation numbers and also, always have space to hold an extra one or two electrons in their orbits.

Oxidation is a natural phenomenon which is occurring continuously in our surroundings for example- browning of a sliced apple, rusting of a bicycle. Oxidation can be simply defined as the reaction between the oxygen molecules and various substances which come in contact with it. Theses substances range from living tissues to various metals.

Oxidation is a chemical reaction that can be referred to as rust it is when a material begins to corrode for instance metal it can be prevented by gulavanising or simply coating something in plastic or even paint.ways to prevent oxidation are by keeping things in a cool dry condition away from water or even away from air if thats possible or pratical will slow down the process.
P.s salt will speed up the process
