If a substance loses hydrogen during a reaction, it is said to be?

• A. neutralised
• B. reduced
• C. oxidised
• D. decomposed

Answer 1

Answer:

C. oxidised

• Oxidation is the loss of electrons or hydrogen atoms, or the gain of oxygen atoms.

• Oxidation is a fundamental chemical process characterized by the loss of electrons by an atom, ion, or molecule.

• This loss of electrons results in an increase in the oxidation state of the species undergoing oxidation.
