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.
<span>This is called "The capture theory" which states that the Earth's Moon was captured by the gravitational pull of our planet, meaning that it formed elsewhere, and then was pulle dinto place by the Earth, already formed. This would rely upon the ideas that a asteroid pased close enough to the Earth's orbit to be "captured".</span>
<u>Answer:</u>
Pyrite leaves behind a green-black streak when it is rubbed against an unglazed porcelain plate as a part of the streak test process.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Different minerals produce different coloured streaks when rubbed against a white ceramic or porcelain streak plate. This streak test is done to identify the mineral and distinguish the same from other minerals that look similar in colour and texture.
It must be ensured that the test is done on clean and fresh specimens of the mineral and that there must be no contaminants. Pyrite specimens are usually brass-yellow colour but it leaves a green-black streak when the streak test is done.
