Chemistry-(general)
NEET Chemistry (general) Match the Following Question
Type: Match the Following-match the column-Medium-Class 11
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Oxidation (i) Loss of electrons (b) Reduction (ii) Gain of electrons (c) Oxidising Agent (iii) Causes another species to be oxidised (d) Reducing Agent (iv) Causes another species to be reduced
Choose the correct matching:
A
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
B
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
C
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
D
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The correct matching reflects the definitions of oxidation and reduction, along with the roles of oxidising and reducing agents in redox reactions. Oxidation is indeed characterized by the loss of electrons, while reduction involves the gain of electrons, consistent with the fundamental concepts of redox processes.
