Question

Which of the follow statements is true?

a. Reductants reduce oxidants and become oxidized. b. Reductants take electrons from oxidants and thereby reductants become reduced.
c. Reductants give electrons to oxidants and thereby reductants become reduced.
d.Oxidants give electrons to reductants and thereby oxidants become oxidized.
e.Oxidants reduce reductants and reductants oxidize oxidants

Answer 1

The true statement is a. Reductants reduce oxidants and become oxidized.

Step-by-step explanation:

The principle characteristic of reductant is to donate electron and that donated electron is accepted by an oxidant.

As a result reductant become oxidized by reducing the oxidant which itself get reduced by accepting the electron from the reductant.
