Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Redox Reactions after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Oxidation and reduction always occur together.
  • Oxidation can mean loss of electrons or gain of oxygen.
  • Reduction can mean gain of electrons or loss of oxygen.
  • Half-reactions show oxidation and reduction separately.
  • Oxidation half-reaction involves electron loss.
  • Reduction half-reaction involves electron gain.
  • More reactive metals lose electrons more easily.
  • Zn can displace Cu2+ from solution.
  • Cu can displace Ag+ from solution.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Oxidation always means addition of oxygen and reduction always means removal of oxygen.

If a reaction is a decomposition reaction, it is automatically a redox reaction.

Fluorine can show disproportionation like chlorine, bromine, and iodine.

Memory Tips

Redox means oxidation and reduction happen together

Oxidation in the classical sense

Reduction in the classical sense

Oxidation and reduction as electron loss and gain
