Document Summary

Other reaction types (note: this material is not in your text) In observing various types of reactions and learning to write net ionic equations we have seen that atoms and molecules may possess various degrees of charge, e. g. iron can be fe (s), fe2+, fe3+ . The ________________________________ is a formal way to keep track of electrons in redox reactions. It assumes that the more electronegative atom in a covalent bond will >take= all the electrons rather than share them. Oxidation: loss of electrons by an atom, molecule, ion, etc. e. g. reduction: gain of electrons by an atom, molecule, ion, etc. Oxidation: loss of electrons by an atom, molecule, ion, etc. e. g. reduction: gain of electrons by an atom, molecule, ion, etc. e. g. 1. Examples: assign oxidation numbers to all the atoms in the following: A redox reaction involves both a gain and loss of electrons, i. e. both an oxidation and a reduction occurs.
