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.

No, the properties of a substance are not affected by the amount of a substance.
When you immerse an ionic compound<span> in </span>water<span>, the ions are attracted to the </span>water <span>molecules, each of which carries a polar charge. If the attraction between the ions and the </span>water <span>molecules </span>is<span> great enough to break the bonds holding the ions together, the compound </span>dissolves<span>. </span>
<span>The characteristics of a wave are given certain names to describe them, and this helps scientists to accurately describe any given wave. The characteristic known as frequency describes the number of waves that pass a point, and it is measured in waves per second, or Hertz, which is given the symbol Hz, but can also be described using the inverse of the SI unit for second, s^-1.</span>
