The diagram that follows represents a molecular view of a process occurring at an electrode in a voltaic cell.

(a) Does the process represent oxidation or reduction?

Hello everyone in this video. We are given this illustration right over here and this is the molecular slash atomic view of which process in an electrode of a Baltic cell. Is this reduction or an oxidation? So the molecular atomic view represents an elemental solid, because the spheres here are uniform and closely packed. As you can see on this side here, the two arrows right over here to pick the movement of the items from the orderly arrangement at the solid surface into solution as ions. So this process is then called the oxidation of the metal atoms on the electoral service of a Baltic, sell the metal's always lose electrons and go into the solution as cad ions. So my solution for this question is going to be that this process is going to be an oxidation. And then this right here is going to be my final answer for this problem.
