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