What to Focus On

  • Oxidation and reduction always occur together.
  • Oxidation means loss of electrons or increase in oxidation number.
  • Reduction means gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation number.

  • Oxidation number is a formal charge.
  • Rules are based on electronegativity and charge balance.
  • Fluorine is always -1 in compounds.

  • Change in oxidation number identifies redox reactions.
  • Increase in oxidation number means oxidation.
  • Decrease in oxidation number means reduction.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Oxidation and reduction are separate reactions that can happen independently.

A reducing agent gets reduced and an oxidising agent gets oxidised.

Oxidation always means gain of oxygen and reduction always means loss of oxygen.

Memory Tips

Oxidation and reduction as electron loss and gain

Oxidising agent and reducing agent

Oxidation and reduction happen together
