NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Oxidation in redox reactions | (i) Gain of electrons |
| (b) Reducing agent | (ii) Loss of electrons |
| (c) Oxidising agent | (iii) Substance that gets reduced |
| (d) Reduction in redox reactions | (iv) Substance that gets oxidised |
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In redox reactions, oxidation refers to the loss of electrons (a-ii), the reducing agent is the substance that gets oxidised (b-iv), the oxidising agent is the one that gets reduced (c-iii), and reduction is the gain of electrons (d-i). This reflects the definitions and processes described in the provided NCERT context.
