Question

In a chemical reaction where an electron is exchanged from one reactant to another, the structure that loses an electron is?

Answer 1

Oxidized

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxidation and reduction are terms used to describe reactions in which electrons move from one atom or molecule to another atom or molecule. Oxidation occurs when electrons are lost, while reduction occurs when electrons are gained. (The charge is reduced). The two processes are linked, whenever one substance is oxidized another has to be reduced.
