    Oxidation is a reaction in which there is a loss of electrons which results in an increase in positive charge of the atom or ion.

    Explanation:

    Oxidation is the process of loss one or more electrons.

    Oxidation process includes loss of electrons to obtain a highly positively charged ions/atoms.

    So, Oxidation is a reaction in which there is a loss of electrons which results in an increase in positive charge of the atom or ion.

    Oxidation is a reaction in which there is a (loss or gain) of electrons which results in a (n) (increase or decrease) in positive charge of the atom or ion.

    Explanation:

    In oxidation reaction, the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion is increased. In other words Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion. We know tat when an atom lose electrons it has positive charge. So if oxidation reaction is responsible for loss of electrons then the positive charge must increase.
