Pls could you give the differences in point form

Sure thing, BJF. Here are the differences in point form:

• Oxidation:

  • A general chemical process involving the loss of electrons.
  • Can also be defined as gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen.
  • Includes a wide range of reactions, some slow (like rusting) and some fast.
  • Does not necessarily produce heat and light.

• Combustion:

  • A specific, rapid type of oxidation reaction.
  • Always involves a reaction with an oxidant, typically oxygen.
  • Characterized by the rapid release of heat and light (flame).
  • Always exothermic.
