C2H4 is oxidized and O2 is reduced in both reactions.
<h3>What is oxidation/reduction?</h3>
Oxidation is defined in several ways. Some of the definitions are:
- The addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen
- Increase in the oxidation number of atoms
- Addition of electronegative or the removal of electropositive elements
Reduction, on the other hand, is defined as:
- Removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen
- Decrease in the oxidation number of atoms
- Addition of electropositive elements or the removal of electronegative elements.
In the two reactions, oxygen is being added to C2H4. Thus, C2H4 is being oxidized.
The oxidizing agent is O2. In oxidation reactions, the oxidizing agents usually get reduced. Thus, O2 is reduced in both reactions.

Answer:
There are four laws of thermodynamics that define fundamental physical quantities (temperature, energy, and entropy) and that characterize thermodynamic systems at thermal equilibrium.
Explanation:
<span>The alkali metals and hydrogen are reactive because they have only one electron to give in order to complete their valence shell. It is easier to give that one electron so when given the opportunity they will. This means they will react with anything polar or willing to take an electron.</span>
