A. Oxidation loss of electrons B oxidation gain of electrons C. Reduction loss of electrons D. Refuction gain of electrons E. Both oxidation and reduction

Explanation / Answer

A. Oxidation loss of electrons

in electrochemical cell at anode oxidation reaction is takes place.

A chemical reaction lose of electrons are takes place is called oxidation.

Zn(s) -------------> Zn^2+ (aq) + 2e^- oxidation reaction
