Question

choose all of the statements from below which are true about oxidation and reduction.

a) Oxidation and reduction are opposite processes with respect to bookkeeping electrons

b) Oxidation is what happens when an element in a substance gains electrons.

c) Electrons appear on the right side of an oxidation half reaction.

d) An oxidant is an oxidizing agent, which becomes oxidized during the course of a redox reaction.

e) Reduction is what happens when an element in a substance loses electrons.

f) Electrons appear on the right side of a reduction half reaction.

g) A reductant is a reducing agent, which becomes reduced during the course of a redox reaction.

a) Oxidation and reduction are opposite processes with respect to bookkeeping electrons ... TRUE, electrons are constant

b) Oxidation is what happens when an element in a substance gains electrons.... false, when it LOSES

c) Electrons appear on the right side of an oxidation half reaction. TRUE,since they are now free

d) An oxidant is an oxidizing agent, which becomes oxidized during the course of a redox reaction. FALSE, it will reduce

e) Reduction is what happens when an element in a substance loses electrons. FALSE, reduction is gain in e-

f) Electrons appear on the right side of a reduction half reaction. FALSE,they go to the left

g) A reductant is a reducing agent, which becomes reduced during the course of a redox reaction. false, it will oxidize
