"In the process of oxidation"

(A) electrons are gained and the charge gets more negative
(B) electrons are gained and the charge gets more positive
(C) electrons are lost and the charge gets more positive
(D) electrons are lost and the charge gets more negative

Respuesta :

Answer:(C) electrons are lost and the charge gets more positive

Explanation:

Oxidation means loss of electrons. When electrons are lost, the number of protons now exceed the number of electrons and the atom acquires a net positive charge. The more electrons lost from the atom, the greater the magnitude of positive charge it acquires.
