Answer: It loses electrons to another element.
Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.
Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.
scandium is a transition metal and shows a valency of 3.
The three steps involve;
Step 1: Separation/expansion of the solute particles
Step 2: Separation/expansion of the solvent particles
Step 3; Combining the solute and solvent particles
The first two steps are usually endothermic. Step 3, nonetheless, can be either exothermic or endothermic and is significant in determining whether the dissolving process will be endothermic or exothermic.
