When zinc is added to AgNO\(_{3}\) solution, crystals of silver forms on the zinc surface. This indicates that zinc is
oxidised
reduced
decomposed
dissociated
توضیح
Reaction: \(2AgNO_{3} + Zn \to Zn(NO_{3})_{2} + 2Ag\)
The oxidation number of Zn in the reactant is 0, and in the product is +2. Therefor, it is oxidized.
