Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxidation involves the addition of oxygen and the release of energy. It is often associated with the loss of electrons, but not necessarily the removal of oxygen atoms. Choice A is incorrect as oxidation can involve the addition of oxygen atoms. Choice B is incorrect as oxidation is exothermic, releasing energy as it occurs. Choice C is incorrect as oxidation involves the loss of electrons, not the acceptance of electrons.
