In an oxidation-reduction reaction,if one substance loses electrons,then another substance must gain electrons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an oxidation-reduction reaction, also known as a redox reaction, the substance that loses electrons is oxidized (undergoes oxidation) and the substance that gains electrons is reduced (undergoes reduction). This is because in order for one substance to lose electrons, there must be another substance available to accept those electrons. Therefore, the statement "if one substance loses electrons, then another substance must gain electrons" is true.
