What is not a factor that must be taken into account when balancing equations for redox reactions

1. What is not a factor that must be taken into account when balancing equations for redox reactions?
Number of atoms in each element in the products.
Number of atoms in each element in the reactants.
The number of protons in each atom of the products and the reactants.
The positive or negative charge of the atoms of the products and the reactants.


2. What is the difference between an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent?
An oxidizing agent gains electrons while a reducing agent loses electrons.
An oxidizing agent loses electrons while a reducing agent gains electrons.
Both oxidizing and reducing agents gain electrons but oxidizing agents gain more than the reducing agent to give it a negative charge.
Both oxidizing and reducing agents gain electrons but oxidizing agents gain more than the reducing agent to give it a positive charge.

Not sure about the first but i think its C
the second is B

1. d) Oxidation and reduction reactions do not involve protons, only electrons.

2. a) Yep. that how they dance.
