Question

A reaction in which there is a transfer of electrons from one reactant to another is called a ______ (combustion/redox) reaction.

Answer 1

A redox reaction is one in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously i.e; loss of an electron from one reactant and gain of electron to the other. Therefore, such reaction is called a redox reaction.

A reaction in which there is a transfer of electrons from one reactant to another is called a Redox reaction.

So, the correct answer is redox.
