What is true of an element that is oxidized? It increased in electronegativity.

It decreased in electronegativity.

It gained electrons.

It lost electrons.

When an element is oxidized, it loses electrons

The last option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element is oxidized, it loses electrons. But when an element is reduced, it gains electrons. This is the basis of redox reactions.

However, an oxidizing agent oxidizes something else, and gets reduced, therefore gaining electrons. Meanwhile, a reducing agent reduces something else, and gets oxidized in the process, losing its own electrons.

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
