NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Oxidation | (i) Addition of electrons |
| (b) Reducing agent | (ii) Undergoes oxidation |
| (c) Reduction | (iii) Loss of electrons |
| (d) Oxidising agent | (iv) Undergoes reduction |
a-iii, b-ii, c-i, d-iv
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-iii, b-i, c-ii, d-iv
a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In redox reactions, oxidation involves the loss of electrons (a-iii), the reducing agent is the substance that undergoes oxidation (b-ii), reduction involves the addition of electrons (c-i), and the oxidising agent is the substance that undergoes reduction (d-iv). This is consistent with the definitions provided in the NCERT context.
