Study Notes
Redox Reactions
- There are two classes of redox reactions: Electron-transfer and Atom transfer
Definition and Meaning of Redox
- The term 'redox' is a portmanteau of the words 'reduction' and 'oxidation'
- The term 'redox' was first used in 1928
Oxidation
- Oxidation is the gain of electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state
- In a redox reaction, oxidation occurs when the reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant
Characteristics of Redox Reactions
- Redox reactions involve only the transfer of electrons from one atom to another
- Redox reactions can occur independently of each other
Common Misconception
- A common misconception about redox reactions is that the oxidant transfers electrons to the reductant (in reality, the reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant)
Atom Transfer
- In atom transfer redox reactions, an atom is transferred from one substrate to another
