MCAT Question of the Day


  • Q:

    Hydrogenation reactions are usually also reduction reactions, whereas protonation is not reduction. The primary reason for this is:

     

    A

    protonation only occurs with nitrogen and oxygen atoms.

    B

    hydrogenation does not affect the oxidation state while protonation does.

    C

    protons do not come with electrons while hydrogen atoms in hydrogenation do come with electrons.

    D

    protons are too small to reduce compounds.
