Q
Q: In a redox reaction, if the oxidation state of an element increases, what happens to that element? (2021)
Solution:
An increase in the oxidation state of an element indicates that it has lost electrons, which means it is oxidized.
Steps: 4
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what oxidation state means. It is a number that shows how many electrons an atom has gained or lost.
Step 2: Recognize that an increase in oxidation state means the atom has lost electrons.
Step 3: Remember that losing electrons is called oxidation.
Step 4: Conclude that if the oxidation state of an element increases, that element is oxidized.
