The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown below:

Reaction A: Electrons are gained by the atoms of an element.
Reaction B: Protons are lost by the atoms of an element.

Which statement is true about the atoms of the elements that participate in the two reactions?

A. Their identity changes in both Reaction A and Reaction B.
B. Their identity changes in Reaction A but not in Reaction B.
C. Their identity changes in Reaction B but not in Reaction A.
D. Their identity remains the same in both Reaction A and Reaction B.

Final answer:

Oxidation involves the loss of electrons, reduction involves gaining electrons, and redox reactions entail both processes.


Explanation:

Oxidation is the loss of electrons, while reduction is the gain of electrons. In oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, one atom loses electrons (oxidation) while another gains them (reduction). The identity of elements in a reaction remains the same, only their electron distribution changes.
