NEETChemistryRedox Reactions
Which of the following statements best describes redox reactions on the basis of electron transfer, along with suitable examples?
Options
- ARedox reactions involve the transfer of protons, not electrons, between reactants, as seen in the reaction of
- BRedox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants, with one substance losing electrons (oxid
- CRedox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants, with both substances losing electrons, as
- DRedox reactions involve the transfer of neutrons, not electrons, between reactants, as observed in the reactio
Correct answer
B. Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants, with one substance losing electrons (oxid
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants, with one substance losing electrons (oxidation) and another gaining electrons (reduction), such as the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to form water.
