1. Assertion (A): In a redox reaction, the substance that gets oxidized acts as a reducing agent.
Reason (R): Oxidation involves the loss of electrons.
Options
- ABoth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- BBoth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- CAssertion (A) is true, but Reason ((\mathrm{R})) is false.
- DBoth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.
Correct answer
A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Step-by-step solution
In a redox reaction, the substance that loses electrons (is oxidized) donates electrons to another, making it the reducing agent.
