Yes, that is true. in order for it to be a redox reaction, both oxidation and reduction must be occurring.
A baseline for experimental investigation is provided by an hypothesis. This is a must before conducting experiments. Also, it is the hypothesis that is being proved by doing the experiments. So, hypothesis is very important in research studies. Hope this answers the question.
Two precursor alkenes
H₃C CH₃
I I
H₂C=C-CH-CH₃ 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene
H₃C CH₃
I I
H₃C-CH=CH-CH₃ 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene
alkane
H₃C CH₃
I I
H₃C-CH-CH-CH₃ 2,3-dimethylbutane
H₃C CH₃ H₃C CH₃
I I I I
H₂C=C-CH-CH₃ + H₂ → H₃C-CH-CH-CH₃
H₃C CH₃ H₃C CH₃
I I I I
H₂C-C=CH-CH₃ + H₂ → H₃C-CH-CH-CH₃
