Oxidation-Reduction — Quiz

Question 9 • Chemistry

Which identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction?

Answer
A
a neutralization reaction
B
a reaction in which oxidation numbers change
C
a double replacement reaction
D
a reaction in which no electrons are transferred

Explanation

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction involves electrons being transferred, which causes the oxidation numbers of one or more elements to change. Therefore, choice B, “a reaction in which oxidation numbers change,” identifies a redox reaction. Neutralization and double replacement describe other reaction types and are not necessarily redox reactions.
