Study Notes
- Redox reactions involve both oxidation and reduction happening simultaneously, where oxidation refers to losing electrons and reduction refers to gaining electrons.
- Mnemonic "oil rig" is commonly used to remember that Oxidation is Loss and Reduction is Gain of electrons.
- In redox reactions, one substance loses electrons (oxidized) while another gains electrons (reduced).
- Displacement reactions involve a more reactive metal displacing a less reactive one based on the reactivity series.
- Ionic equations focus on the particles that actually participate in the reaction, excluding spectator ions that do not change or take part in the reaction.
