Question

Regarding oxidation numbers in redox reactions, which statmentis true? (a) The algebraic sum of oxidation number in a molecule orcompound is zero. (b) Loss of an elecron results in a decreases in an oxidationnumber. (c) Oxidation numbers in a redox reaction tend to shift fromleft to right (d) in a redox reaction,oxidation numbers generally remain thesame Regarding oxidation numbers in redox reactions, which statmentis true?

(c) Oxidation numbers in a redox reaction tend to shift fromleft to right (d) in a redox reaction,oxidation numbers generally remain thesame

Explanation / Answer

The first one is correct.

Loss of an electron results in increase of oxidation number.

Oxidation numbers do not shift in a reaction. They only changevalues.
