Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Oxidation and Reduction (Redox Reactions)

  • Oxidation is the loss of electrons; reduction is the gain of electrons.
  • Oxidation and reduction always occur together in a redox reaction.
  • The species that loses electrons is oxidized and acts as a reducing agent (reductant).
2

2. Oxidation Number and Rules

  • Oxidation number is the apparent charge on an atom in a compound or ion.
  • It helps identify oxidation and reduction in polyatomic species.
  • Rules help assign oxidation numbers systematically.
3

3. Balancing Redox Reactions

  • Two methods: Oxidation Number Method and Ion-Electron (Half-Reaction) Method.
  • Both ensure conservation of mass and charge.
  • Ion-electron method is preferred in acidic or basic media.
4

4. Electrolytic Conduction and Conductivity

  • Electrolytes conduct electricity in aqueous or molten state due to ion movement.
  • Conductance (L) = 1/R; measured in siemens (S).
  • Conductivity (κ) = 1/ρ; unit S cm⁻¹.
