What to Focus On
- Classical oxidation involves gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen
- Classical reduction involves loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen
- Redox reactions involve simultaneous oxidation and reduction
- Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL - Oxidation Is Loss)
- Reduction is gain of electrons (RIG - Reduction Is Gain)
- Oxidizing agent gets reduced, reducing agent gets oxidized
- Oxidation number helps identify electron transfer in compounds
- Sum rule: neutral compounds sum to 0, ions sum to their charge
- Oxygen is usually -2, hydrogen usually +1
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Oxidation always means addition of oxygen and reduction always means removal of oxygen
In fractional oxidation states, all atoms of the element have the same fractional oxidation number
The substance that gets oxidized is the oxidizing agent
