Question

What is true when an element is oxidized? It bonds with the hydroxide ion. It loses electrons to another element. It reacts with oxygen gas. It takes electrons from another element.

Answer 1

It looses electrons to another element.

Step-by-step explanation:

During oxidization, the element is loosing elections and the one that is gaining the electrons is the oxidizer.

Answer 2

Answer: It loses electrons to another element.

Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.

`Fe\rightarrow Fe^(2+)+2e^-`

Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.

`(1)/(2)O_2+2e^-\rightarrow O^(2-)`
