The oxidized form of the molecule is quinone.

What is oxidation?

Oxidation has several definitions. Some of them are

  • Increase in oxidation number
  • Loss of electrons
  • Gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen

In this case, quinone gained an electron from complex 1 to become quinol. Following the definition of oxidation as the loss of electrons, then we can say that the oxidized form of the molecule is quinone itself.

Immediate it gains an electron, it becomes reduced to quinol.
