1. Which of the following statements is not true?

(A) In a chemical reaction, oxidation is always accompanied by reduction.
(B) When a negative ion changes to neutral species, the process is oxidation.
(C) Oxidising agent has a tendency to lose electrons.
(D) Conversion of to is oxidation.
Ans: (C)
Solution:
2. Which of the following is not a redox reaction?
(A)

(B)
(C)
(D)
Ans: (C)

Solution:
Since there is no change in oxidation number of any species, it is not a redox reaction.
3. Which species is acting as a reducing agent in the following reaction?

(A)
(B) Ni
(C)
(D)
Ans: (B)
Solution: (oxidation). Hence, Ni acts as a
reducing agent.
4. Which of the following is not a rule for calculating oxidation number?
(A) For ions, oxidation number is equal to the charge on the ion.
(B) The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 in all of its compounds.
(C) The oxidation number of fluorine is -1 in all of its compounds.
(D) Oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 except in binary hydrides of alkali metals and alkaline
earth metals where it is -1.
Ans: (B)
Solution: Oxidation number of oxygen is -2 in most of its compounds. The exceptions are -1 in
peroxides and in superoxides, +2 in and +1 in
