in this reaction, Copper is the element being oxidized because it is losing electrons. It starts with a neutral charge (0) and ends up with a 6+ charge. Because its charge is increasing, it is being oxidized (losing electrons).

In the reaction, 3Cu + 2Al3+ → 3Cu2+ + 2Al, which substance is being oxidized?
