NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Oxidation Agent | (i) Gains electrons |
| (b) Reducing Agent | (ii) Loses electrons |
| (c) Oxidation Process | (iii) Increases oxidation number |
| (d) Reduction Process | (iv) Decreases oxidation number |
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In redox reactions, an oxidizing agent gains electrons (i) while a reducing agent loses electrons (ii). The oxidation process involves an increase in oxidation number (iii), and the reduction process involves a decrease in oxidation number (iv). This aligns with the definitions provided in the NCERT context regarding electron transfer during redox reactions.
