- Bromine is reduced and oxidised.
- Bromine is reduced and water is oxidised.
- Bromine is neither reduced nor oxidised.
- Bromine is both reduced and oxidised.
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Identify oxidation states.
In the reaction, bromine undergoes both reduction (gains electrons) and oxidation (loses electrons). Therefore, bromine is both reduced and oxidised.
Thus, the correct answer is (4).
