Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false: (c) If there are no changes in the oxidation state of the reactants or products of a particular reaction, that reaction is not a redox reaction.

Hello everyone today, we are being asked to choose the correct statement. So the answer here is D. A. Reaction is not a redox reaction if neither the oxidation state of the reactant nor the oxidation state of the product changes, and that is very true because a redox reaction involves a transfer of electrons. So we're going to say it involves a transfer of electrons, and therefore when you have a chance for of electrons, this ultimately leads to changes in the oxidation state of these elements. And so therefore you cannot classify reactions redox unless you have the oxidation state of the reactant and the products changing. I hope this helped, and until next time.
