1.	What are oxidation and reduction organic reactions? Give an example.
Answer» SOLUTION :Oxidation reaction : Most of the oxidation reaction of organic compounds involves GAIN of oxygen or loss of hydrogen. E.g. : `underset("(acetaldehyde)")(CH_3CHO) underset(H^+ \|K_2Cr_2O_7)OVERSET((O))to underset("(Acetic ACID)")(CH_3COOH)` REDUCTION reactions : Most of the reduction of organic compounds involves gain of hydrogen or loss of oxygen.
