REDOX REACTIONS

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves

a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any
chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes
by gaining or losing an electron.
 OXIDATION-REDUCTION
"REDOX" reactions
Electrons move between atoms.

REDUCTION
Gain of Electrons electron

OXIDATION
Loss of Electrons
A IS OXIDIZED, B IS REDUCED
 Electrons are NEGATIVE!!!
THE LION SAYS
LOSS OF ELECTRON IS OXIDATION GAIN OF ELECTRON IS REDUCTION

OXIDATION REDUCTION

 1. GROUP 1A: ALWAYS +1
RULES:
2. GROUP 2A: ALWAYS +2
3. HALOGENS: USUALLY -1, POSITIVE WITH OXYGEN
4. MONOATOMIC ION = ION CHARGE
A) H: + 1 WITH NON METALS
-1 WITH METALS
B) O: USUALLY -2
-1 IN PEROXIDE H2O2
C) F: ALWAYS -1

SUM OF OXIDATION NUMBER IN NEUTRAL COMPOUND= 0

SUM OF OXIDATION NUMBER IN POLYATOMIC ION= ION CHARGE
