About this document
Redox Reactions: Oxidation & Reduction by booboo is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Oxidation involves the loss of electrons and reduction involves the gain of electrons. Redox reactions involve both oxidation and reduction processes. To determine the oxidation state of elements in compounds, specific rules are followed such as group 1 elements having an oxidation state of +1 and group 2 elements having an oxidation state of +2. Half reactions show the oxidation and reduction stages separately and must include electrons when balanced.
