Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

It is neither an oxidation nor reduction reaction.

Step by step solution

01

Oxidation reaction

Oxidation means the loss of electrons in a reaction. Oxidation occurs when the oxidation state is increased.

02

Reduction reaction

Reduction methe ans gain of electrons or oxidation state is decreased.

03

 Step 3: Reaction interpretation

In this reaction, ammonia is getting added to a given alkene. It is an addition reaction. It is neither an oxidation nor reduction reaction.
