Question
Chapter 2, Problem 49P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
On the basis of oxidation or reduction of organic compound, the given reactions are to be classified.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation of an atom occurs when the number of bonds to oxygen increase or the number of bonds to hydrogen decrease.
Reduction of an atom occurs when the number of bonds to hydrogen increases or the number of bonds to oxygen decrease.
Oxidation of carbon occurs when a less electronegative atom than carbon, from a bond with carbon, is replaced by a more electronegative atom.
Reduction of carbon occurs when a more electronegative atom than carbon, from a bond with carbon, is replaced by a less electronegative atom.
