What happens to an atom when it gets oxidized?
A. It’s oxidation state increases
B. It’s atomic number increases
C. its oxidation state decreases
D. It’s ionic charge decreases

A. It’s oxidation state increases

Explanation:

A chemical reaction that involves the moving of electrons is known as oxidation. In oxidation, an atom, molecule, or ion loses one or more electrons in a chemical reaction.

When oxidation occurs, an element loses electrons and its oxidation number increases (becomes more positive), this means the oxidation state of the chemical species increases.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
