Study Notes
Redox Reactions
- Redox reactions are defined as the transfer of electrons from one species to another.
- The substance that gains electrons is known as the oxidizing agent.
- The substance that loses electrons is known as the reducing agent.
- Reduction is the process of gaining electrons, causing a decrease in oxidation state.
- When a substance loses electrons, its oxidation state increases.
- Oxygen is the most common oxidizing agent in redox reactions as it readily accepts electrons from other substances.
