I suppose it false, since the oxidation involves the loss or removal of the electrons such forth it does not gain electrons.
fourth period
The third period is similar to the second, except the 3s and 3p sublevels are being filled. Because the 3d sublevel does not fill until after the 4s sublevel, the fourth period contains 18 elements, due to the 10 additional electrons that can be accommodated by the 3d orbitals.
