'Increased'

Explicación

## Step 1In a chemical reaction, reduction refers to the process where an atom, ion, or molecule gains electrons. This process is always accompanied by an increase in the number of electrons.## Step 2In the case of copper (Cu), when it is reduced, it means that it gains electrons. This process increases the number of electrons in copper.## Step 3The number of electrons in an atom is a fundamental property and does not remain constant or depend on external factors. Therefore, the number of electrons in copper increases when it is reduced.
