Oxidation occurs when an atom, molecule, or ion loses one or more electrons in a chemical reaction. When oxidation occurs, the oxidation state of the chemical species increases. Oxidation doesn't necessarily involve oxygen! Originally, the term was used when oxygen caused electron loss in a reaction. The modern definition is more general.
Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in the oxidation state, while reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state. The oxidation and reduction processes occur simultaneously in the chemical reaction.
Oxidation does not mean that an oxygen atom is added to the compound. Instead, it is a chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons. Metals are generally considered to be elements that can easily lose electrons, so they are known to be easily oxidized.
