Its oxidation number increases. When an atom loses electrons, there are now more protons then electrons so its oxidation number increases.
Hope this helps

Its oxidation number increases. When an atom loses electrons, there are now more protons then electrons so its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

The oxidation product of an element signifies the hypothetical charge of an atom in a compound. It is hypothetical because, in the context of a compound, the elements may not absolutely be ionic. When the number of electrons associated with an atom changes, its oxidation number also changes. When an element loses an electron, its oxidation number rises.

Ne4ueva [31]

Atoms have no electric charge because the protons and electrons "cancel out" each others charges. Neutrons have no charge. What is the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.

Hope this helps have a great day :)

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Their particles exhibit the same type of intermolecular interaction

Explanation:

In chemistry, we commonly say that 'like dissolves like'. This implies that polar solvents dissolves polar solutes while nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes.

This phenomenon of 'like dissolves like' is possible because, the dissolution of one substance in another involves intermolecular interaction between the solute and solvent molecules.

If the molecules of solute and solvent are both nonpolar and have about the same magnitude of intermolecular (dispersion) forces, interaction between the both molecules is significant hence the solute dissolves completely in the solvent.
