Unit 7- redox reaction Flashcards
Do oxidation and reduction happens in the same time
yes
The name of the reaction happened if the atom gains an electron
reduction
The name of the reaction happened if the atom loses an electron
oxidation
The name of the reaction happened if the atom gains oxygen
oxidation
The name of the reaction happened if the atom loses oxygen
reduction
Any reaction in which electron transfer takes place is ______________
a redox reaction
Mgㅡ> (mg 2+) + (2e-)
is this oxidation or reduction
oxidation because the electrons are separated ( lost ) from the atom after the reaction
(O2) + (4e-) ㅡ> 2O 2-
is this oxidation or reduction
reduction because electrons are combined (gained) with the atom before the reaction
What is the oxidation state
the number of electrons for the atom to lose or gain to form a compound
The oxidising agent is the substance that gets ______ in the reaction
reduced
Reducing agent is the substance which gets ________ during the reaction
oxidised
