The oxidation process involves
- Correct answerAIncrease in oxidation number
- BAddition of hydrogen
- CRemoval of electronegative element
- DGain of electrons
Solution
Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons, which results in an increase in the oxidation number of an element.
Addition of hydrogen, removal of an electronegative element, and gain of electrons are all characteristics of reduction.
Answer: Increase in oxidation number
Addition of hydrogen, removal of an electronegative element, and gain of electrons are all characteristics of reduction.
Answer: Increase in oxidation number
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
