Question

oxidation can only be written as a reaction.

true

false

Explanation:

Oxidation is a process (like in redox reactions, or even in descriptions of chemical changes in substances) and can be described in other ways too, not just limited to being written as a reaction. For example, we can talk about oxidation in terms of electron loss, or describe the oxidation state change of an atom without necessarily writing a full reaction equation. So the statement that it can only be written as a reaction is false.

Answer:

False
