Redox reactions stand for oxidation/reduction reactions. True or false: an oxidation reaction is always paired with a reduction reaction.

The answer is: true

Explanation:

In redox reactions, the half-reactions of oxidation and reduction always occur simultaneously in pair.

The oxidation half-reaction involved the lost of electrons from a reduced substance (A) to form a oxidized substance (A⁺):

A ⇒ A⁺ + e-

In contrapossition, during the reduction half-reaction the oxidized substance (B⁺) gains electrons to form the reduced subtance (B):

B⁺ + e- ⇒ B

The overall redox reaction is obtained by the addition of the two half-reactions:

A ⇒ A⁺ + e-

B⁺ + e- ⇒ B

A + B⁺⇒ A⁺ + B

The electrons gained by B are provided by A, which lost the same number of electrons. Thus, the oxidation/reduction reactions are paired.

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
