Answer:

Explanation:

Zn(s) + Cuāŗ( aq) ā‡’ ZnāŗĀ²( aq ) + Cu(s)

In oxidation reaction of an element or ion , the oxidation number is increased . Oxidation no is total charge on the atom or ion

In the following half reaction Zn(s) is oxidised to ZnāŗĀ²

Zn( s ) ā‡’ ZnāŗĀ²(aq) Ā + 2eā»

In this reaction charge on Zn(s) is zero

After reaction charge on formed ZnāŗĀ² is +2 . Hence there is increase in oxidation number from 0 to + 2 . Hence Zn(s) is oxidised to ZnāŗĀ² ion . Ā
