a) a reaction in which two new products are created
b) a reaction that results in the release of heat or light
c) a reaction in which the exchange of electrons (oxygen) occurs
d) a reaction in which a precipitate forms as a product

Respuesta :

The answer to your question is: c) a reaction in which the exchange of electrons (oxygen) occurs.

I hope this helps!


Answer: c) a reaction in which the exchange of electrons (oxygen) occurs

Explanation:

a) a reaction in which two new products are created from a single raectant is a decomposition reaction

b) a reaction that results in the release of heat or light : is a exothermic reaction

c) Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.
