Question

i don't understand this question and i need help please.

In the reaction shown below, is **1-pentene** being *oxidized* or *reduced*? \[ \text{CH}_2= \text{CHCH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3 + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3 \] **1-pentene** gets converted to **pentane**. **Explanation:** This reaction involves the conversion of 1-pentene (an alkene) into pentane (an alkane). The addition of hydrogen (H₂) to 1-pentene results in the saturation of the double bond, effectively reducing the compound. Reduction, in this context, refers to the gain of hydrogen atoms. Thus, 1-pentene is reduced in this reaction.
