In a redox reaction, which of the following statements is true? (2020)
  1. Oxidation involves gain of electrons
  2. Reduction involves loss of electrons
  3. Oxidation state of an element decreases during oxidation
  4. Reduction involves gain of electrons

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a redox reaction, which of the following statements is true? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand what a redox reaction is. A redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons between two substances.
  • Step 2: Learn the term 'reduction'. Reduction means that a substance gains electrons.
  • Step 3: Know that when a substance gains electrons, its oxidation state (a measure of how many electrons it has) decreases.
  • Step 4: Remember that in a redox reaction, one substance is reduced (gains electrons) and another is oxidized (loses electrons).
  • Step 5: Conclude that the statement 'Reduction is defined as the gain of electrons, which decreases the oxidation state of the element' is true.
