Answer : The correct option is, (D) it is oxidized.

Explanation :

On the basis of electrons, there are two types of reactions :

(1) Oxidation reaction (2) Reduction reaction

Oxidation reaction : When an element loses electrons in a chemical reaction then that element gets oxidized in the chemical reaction and its oxidation number increases.

Reduction reaction : When an element gains electrons in a chemical reaction then that element gets reduced in the chemical reaction and its oxidation number decreases.

Hence, the correct answer is (D).

What is the situation when I might travel high velocity but low acceleration

Anna007 [38]

Cruising at 35,000 feet in an airliner, straight toward the east,
at 500 miles per hour.

Since your speed is not changing and you're moving in a straight line,
your acceleration is zero.
