When carbohydrates are metabolized as cellular fuel, the c-h and c-c bonds of the carbohydrate are oxidized to c=o bonds of carbon dioxide. oxidation is defined as a loss of electrons, but carbon does not become positively charged in the process. why, then, is this considered oxidation?

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
