Oxidation is a process when an atom, a group of atoms, or an ion loses electrons.
For example,
Cu⁰ -------> Cu⁺² + 2e⁻. This is an oxidation process.
As we can see an oxidation number was 0, and it became +2. The oxidation number is increased. Oxidation number of the atom, when an atom has undergone oxidation, increases.
So, answer is b.False.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
The tilt of the Earth means the Earth will lean towards the Sun (Summer) or lean away from the Sun (Winter) 6 months later. In between these, Spring and Autumn will occur. The North pole always points the same way as the Earth revolves around the Sun.

Explanation:
An ionic bond occurs due to electrostatic attraction between a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion.
A metal and a ligand are bound by a coordinate covalent bond or a dative bond. This bond occurs due to donation of electron pairs from ligands to available orbitals on metals.
The formation of coordinate bonds is evident when neutral molecules or negative ions with non bonding electrons donate same to empty metal orbitals. This is sometimes shown by an arrow pointing from the ligands to the metal center.
For instance; tetraammine copper II ion is formed when four ammonia molecules donate a lone pair each to available vacant orbitals of the copper metal center to form [Cu(NH3)4]^2+.
