Oxidation-Reduction in Organic Chemistry
Oxidation of a carbon atom corresponds to an increase in the number of oxygen atoms, and/or bonds to the
carbon atom; and/or a decrease in the total number of hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atom.

GeneralizationOxidation of carbon occurs when a bond between carbon and an atom which is less electronegative than carbon is replaced by a bond to an atom that is more electronegative than carbon. The reverse process is reduction.
