How does the oxidation state of Li change in the following reaction? Li(s) + NaOH(aq) → LiOH(aq) + Na(s)
O A. It goes from 0 to +1.
O B. It goes from +1 to +2.
O C. It goes from 0 to -1.
O D. It does not change.

A

Explanation:

It's a metal.

Metals in general go positive when the combine with a non metal. Li is going from 0 to 1 and that's A

a non redox reaction occurs when there is not a transfer of electrons. for redox reactions, which are reduction-oxidation reactions, a change in the oxidation number occurs. elements that are reduced gain electrons, and elements that are oxidized lose electrons.
