In a redox reaction, what happens to the substance that is oxidized?
Correct Answer: Loses electrons
- Step 1: Understand what a redox reaction is. It is a chemical reaction where one substance loses electrons and another gains electrons.
- Step 2: Identify the substance that is oxidized. This is the substance that loses electrons.
- Step 3: Recognize that when the substance loses electrons, it undergoes oxidation.
- Step 4: Conclude that the substance that is oxidized becomes more positive in charge because it has lost negatively charged electrons.
