The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the term that describes a specific type of chemical reaction. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Oxidation**: This is the process where a substance loses electrons. - **Reduction**: This is the process where a substance gains electrons. ### Step 2: Identify the Type of Reaction - A reaction where the same substance undergoes both oxidation and reduction means that it is both losing and gaining electrons simultaneously. ### Step 3: Recall the Term - The specific term used to describe this type of reaction is "disproportionation reaction." In a disproportionation reaction, a single substance is transformed into two different products, one of which is oxidized and the other is reduced. ### Final Answer The reaction in which the same substance undergoes oxidation as well as reduction is called a **disproportionation reaction**. ---
