Ko te tangohanga atu o te irahiko, te tāpiritanga o te hāora (O), te tangohanga rānei o te hauwai (H) i tētahi tauhohe matū. Ko te waikura me te ngingiha hei tauira o te tauhohe ōhikitanga. He tauhohe ōhikitanga te tahuna o te waro (C), ina ka honoa ngā ngota waro me ngā ngota hāora, ko te hauhā (CO2) te hua ka puta: C + O2 → CO2
The loss of electrons, the gaining of oxygen, or the loss of hydrogen in a chemical reaction. Rusting and combustion are examples of oxidation reactions. Burning carbon (C) is an oxidation reaction where carbon atoms combine with the oxygen atoms to produce carbon dioxide (CO2).
tauhohe - reaction
hiki - lift up, raise
He aha i kīia ai te waikuratanga, he tauhohe ōhikitanga?
Rangahautia ngā pūmatū hua ka puta i tētahi tauhohe ōhikitanga.
Ko te tukupūngao tētahi tauira o te tauhohe ōhikitanga.
