Oxidation & reduction in terms of electron transfer
Oxidation / agent: loss of electrons / substance that gives electrons to another substance
Reduction / agent: gain of electrons / substance that takes electrons from another substance

Oxidation numbers (MEMORISE)

Disproportionation
Occurs when the substance is both oxidised and reduced at the same time.
Oxidation & reduction in terms of change in oxidation number
Oxidation:
Increase in oxidation number
E.g. atom goes from 0 to +2, atom is oxidised
AKA lost electrons
Reduction:
Decrease in oxidation number
E.g. atom goes from +2 to 0, atom is reduced
AKA gained electrons
