Oxidation and Reduction
- Define oxidation and reduction in terms of
oxygen loss / gain, and identify such reactions
from given information
- Oxidation is the gain of
oxygen. The loss of
oxygen is the reduction.
- Define redox in terms of electron
transfer, and identify such
reactions from given information
- Oxidation and reduction reactions always occur together in a redox
reaction. Redox changes can often be observed as significant colour changes
e.g. rusting / corrosion of iron.iron + copper(II) sulfate → iron(II) sulfate +
copper
- oxidation is the loss of electrons, reduction is gain of
electrons
- that's it
