Question

Which statement is true? A. In a reaction, oxidation can occur independently of reduction. B. A redox reaction involves either the transfer of an electron or a change in the oxidation state of an element. C. In a redox reaction, any increase in the oxidation state of a reactant must be accompanied by a decrease in the oxidation state of a reactant. D. If any of the reactants or products in a reaction contain oxygen, the reaction is a redox reaction.

Step 1

So, statement A is false. B: A redox reaction does involve the transfer of electrons and changes in the oxidation states of elements. So, statement B is true. C: In a redox reaction, an increase in the oxidation state of one reactant (oxidation) must be Show more…
