Everyone wants to be in a state of maximum stability and so is the case of elements.

The elements in their free state are unstable and don't have stable electronic configuration.

By gaining, loosing or sharing electrons they achieve noble gas configuration

which is stable and thus the element gets its stability.

True or false An oxidation-reduction reaction occurs when electrons are transferred from one substance to another in a chemical reaction?

True. In an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction, electrons are transferred from one substance (the reducing agent) to another substance (the oxidizing agent). This transfer of electrons results in a change in oxidation states of the elements involved in the reaction.


What happens in a redox reaction?

Electrons are transferred between atoms.


What is bonds that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
