Oxidized atoms are atoms that have lost one or more electrons, resulting in a positive charge. This process, known as oxidation, typically occurs during chemical reactions where substances react with oxygen or other oxidizing agents. The loss of electrons often leads to changes in the atom's chemical properties and its ability to bond with other atoms. In contrast, reduction refers to the gain of electrons, resulting in a negative charge.

Why is platinum often used in jewelry?

Like all platinum group metals, platinum is stable, does not react with anything, is non toxic, and it's pretty and rare. That's the perfect recipe for jewelry. Metals not in the platinum group often oxidize when exposed to air. Depending on what they oxidize into, it can mean anything from simply being ugly to being very toxic. Metals oxidize because oxygen is a very electronegative molecule (two oxygen atoms make up one 02 molecule). Gold and platinum don't oxidize because of the position of their D-shell electrons. They're very happy atoms, so they don't want any electrons, so they don't react, and they stay shiny.
