  1. Which of the following is considered an oxidation reaction?

       

    NADH → NAD+

       

    FAD → FADH

       

    Conversion of an alkene to an alkane

       

    Conversion of a carboxyl group to an aldehyde group

Expert Solution
Step 1

When an atom looses electrons it will get positive charge and it is said to be oxidised and when an atom gain electron it means it is getting reduced . 

1) NADH → NAD

As we. Can see here that NADH is converted into NAD+ and it looses one electron and get positive charge on it . So this is oxidation reaction .
