Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)$

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!

Answer:

The light emitted by a light bulb is a form of radiation that occurs when the filament heats up and its thermal emission gains enough energy to move into the visible spectrum.

Explanation:

Light bulbs contain a filament which is heated up electrically. When this filament is heated up,energy in the form of heat is imparted to the electrons in the filament.

This thermal excitation of electrons ultimately leads to emission of light in the viable spectrum. This light is now radiated through a light bulb.
