Dear Student
Combustion is the complete oxidation of organic compound into carbon dioxide and water molecules in presence of oxygen gas while oxidation is the addition of oxygen in a compound or with an element the loss of electron from an atom or ion is also oxidation but it is not the combustion.
- all oxidizing reactions are not combustion reaction.....but all combustion reactions are oxidizing..
- oxidation reaction does not involve heat.....combustion reactions involve heat....
We hope that clarifies your query.
