Question

In an oxidation-reduction reaction, which statement is true? CHOOSE ALL CORRECT ANSWERS; there may be more than one correct answer. a. The oxidized species lost electrons. b. The reduced species gained electrons. c. This is also called a "redox" reaction.

d. Electrons are transferred from one species to another species.

Answer 1

In a redox reaction, the oxidized species loses electrons and the reduced species gains electrons. The redox process necessitates the transfer of electrons between species, and all these statements are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an oxidation-reduction or redox reaction, several key statements are true regarding the transfer of electrons between species:

• The oxidized species has lost electrons during the reaction.
• The reduced species has gained electrons.
• This process is indeed also known as a "redox" reaction.
• Electrons are transferred from the oxidized species to the reduced species.

Therefore, the correct answers to the question are:

1. The oxidized species lost electrons.
2. The reduced species gained electrons.
3. This is also called a "redox" reaction.
4. Electrons are transferred from one species to another species.
