Question

In a reaction, there is removal of oxygen from one of the reactants & addition of oxygen to the other. One is oxidised and the other is reduced. Such a reaction is known as-

• A. Double Displacement Reaction
• B. Decomposition Reaction
• C. Redox Reactions
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Redox Reactions

In redox processes also known as reduction - oxidation process, the reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant. Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced.
