Single displacement
________ (replacement) reactions: redox reactions in which an ion in solution is displaced (or replaced) via the oxidation of a metallic element.
2
New cards
Reduction
________: gain of electrons.
3
New cards
Balance charge
________ by adding electrons.
4
New cards
The sum of the oxidation number in a polyatomic ion equals
the charge on the ion.
5
New cards
The sum of the oxidation numbers for all atoms in a molecule must be
zero.
6
New cards
Oxidation number
________ (or oxidation state) of an element in a compound: the charge its atoms would possess if the compound was ionic.
7
New cards
Oxidation
loss of electrons
8
New cards
Reduction
gain of electrons
9
New cards
Reducing agent
is oxidized; LOSES electrons, and its charge goes up
10
New cards
Oxidizing agent
is reduced; gains electrons, and its charge goes DOWN
11
New cards
