🔍 Section B: Assertion & Reasoning – (2 Marks Each)
Choose the correct option:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
11. Assertion (A): Oxidation is the process of loss of electrons.
Reason (R): The species losing electrons gets reduced.
12. Assertion (A): Hydrogen has +1 oxidation state in most compounds.
Reason (R): It is more electronegative than oxygen.
