NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In the process of balancing redox reactions, the number of electrons lost in oxidation must equal the number of electrons gained in reduction.
Reason (R): In redox reactions, elements are converted into ions during the balancing process.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as balancing involves equalizing electrons in oxidation and reduction. The reason is false because elements are not necessarily converted into ions during balancing.
