Hello there!

Greetings!

Oxidation is simply addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen or removal of electrons from a substance.  For example,  when Mg loses its 2 electrons,  it gets oxidised into Mg2+.  I didn't get second part of your question as oxidation is a process and not a species to react with something.

Thankyou
