Q. Which of the following statements is/are true?
(a) The process of oxidation leads to a gain of electrons.
(b) The process of oxidation leads to a loss of electrons.
(c) The process of reduction leads to a gain of electrons.
(d) The process of reduction leads to a loss of electrons.

Q. Cations are formed by ____ (loss/ gain) of electrons and anions are formed by______ (loss/ gain) of electrons.

Q. Assertion :Oxidation involves loss of electrons and reduction involves gain of electrons. Reason: The overall reaction in which oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously is called redox reaction.
