Oxidation is the loss of hydrogen. Reduction is the gain of hydrogen. Notice that these are exactly the opposite of the oxygen definitions (#1). For example, ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal: An oxidizing agent is required to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons or increase in oxidation state of a chemical species in a chemical reaction. Oxidation and reduction are two types of chemical reactions that go hand-in-hand to form redox reactions.
Oxidation is a chemical process where an atom, ion, or molecule loses electrons as it interacts with another chemical species, altering its composition and energy state.
