Answer:
C. Its oxidation number increases.
Explanation:
- <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
- Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
- When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
- For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>

We need the options to answer.
Explanation:
N/A
B) Exothermic
The reaction released heat energy to its surrounding, thus, it was exothermic.
"exo" is to expel or put outside
"thermic" means heat
Answer:
Explanation:
Combination reactions are the reactions in which two or more atoms/ molecules combine to give a single product.
Aluminum metal combines with iodine to given aluminium iodide.
Aluminium has a valency of 3 and iodine has valency of 1, so the formula is
The reaction is shown below as:
