Study Notes
- Redox reactions involve changes in oxidation states of substrates.
- Oxidation involves loss of electrons or increase in oxidation state, while reduction involves gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation state.
- There are two classes of redox reactions: electron-transfer and atom transfer.
- Redox is a combination of reduction and oxidation.
- Reductant transfers electrons to oxidant in redox reactions.
- Oxidant removes electrons and is reduced, while reducing agent transfers electrons and is oxidized.
- Redox pair is involved in a particular reaction, while redox couple is reducing and oxidizing form.
- Oxidants remove electrons, while reducers donate electrons.
- Electropositive elemental metals and hydride transfer reagents are good reducing agents.
- Hydrogen gas is also used as a source of H atoms for reduction.
