Redox and Ionic reactions Flashcards
1
Q
What happens during a displacement reaction
A
In this reaction, one of the reactants (the one in the compound) is being reduced while the other is being oxidised
2
Q
Oxidation
A
Oxidation is the gain of oxygen and the loss of electrons
3
Q
Reduction
A
Reduction is the loss of oxygen and the gain of electrons.
4
Q
Where are Ions formed
A
Ions are only formed in aqueous solutions
5
Q

A
An ionic equation only shows the atoms and ions that change in a reaction. Spectator ions (Ions that do not change) aren’t included
