MCQs on Oxidation Reduction

Oxidation-Reduction reactions are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. A simple definition of redox reactions considers oxidation as the gain of oxygen atoms and reduction as the loss of oxygen atoms. A redox reaction can also be defined as a reaction in which some of the elements undergo a change in oxidation number. The oxidising agent is by definition the substance containing the atom which shows a decrease in oxidation number. Redox reactions are electron transfers by definition.
