Q

physical properties of oxygen

A

an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas. It is heavier than air

41
Q

Chemical properties of oxygen

A
  • Combines with most elements to produce compounds called oxides.
  • Supports combustion (defined) - a rapid oxidation in which heat and light are produced - usually accompanied by a flame.
  • Acts as an oxidizing agent.
42
Q

compounds which contain two (2) elements one of which is oxygen.

43
Q

oxidation can be defined in four ways

A

1) the addition of oxygen from a substance
2) the removal of hydrogen from a substance
3) increase in the oxidation number of an atom
4) the loss of electrons in reaction

44
Q

reduction can be defined in four ways

A

1) loss or removal of oxygen from a substance
2) gain or addition of hydrogen to a substance
3) a decrease in charge or oxidation number of an atom
4) gain of electrons during reaction

45
Q

redox _______ occur independently of each other

A

will never

46
Q

LEO GERs

A

Oxidation- loss of electrons

Reduction- gain of electrons

47
Q

OIL RIG

A

oxidation is loss of electrons

reduction is gain of electrons

48
Q

**

A

In redox reactions, one substance is oxidized and another substance is reduced. A comparison of oxidation numbers can be made of the elements on the reactant side of the equation to the same elements on the product side. This comparison will determine which substance has been oxidized and which substance has been reduced
