      # Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
      # Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion

      She is right in the terms of oxygen. Oxidation is gain of oxygen. Reduction is loss of oxygen.
      OIL RIG mean Oxidation IS LOSS OF ELECTRONS. Reduction IS GAIN OF ELECTIONS.
