Chemistry

Answer : The correct option is, (a) when a substance reacts with elemental oxygen.

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

From the given options we conclude that a redox reaction has occurred  when a substance reacts with elemental oxygen. Because elemental oxygen will oxidize the metal and itself get reduced. Thus, it is a redox reaction.

For example :

Mg+O_2\rightarrow MgO

This reaction is a redox reaction in which magnesium shows oxidation due to change in oxidation state from (0) to (+2) and oxygen shows reduction due to change in oxidation state from (0) to (-2).

Hence, the correct option is, (a) when a substance reacts with elemental oxygen.

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Water was on earth with the dinosaurs and almost at the very start.

Water starts anywhere from clouds to ponds

I choose ponds, water evaporates from the sun and moves its way through the air being collected into clouds in the atmosphere, clouds are evaporated water molecules, then the water combines to form rain wich then end up on a hill and travel back to a water source or goes into the ground and makes groundwater and if there is enough rain overtime will form a pond.
