REDOX REACTION!!!
I have come to a conclusion that, many of my students from middle and high school graders do have a fear of redox reaction chapter! So here I have some tips which might help you.
Use the mnemonic OIL-RIG to remember oxidation and reduction in terms of the movement of electrons:
- OIL- Oxidation Is Loss.
- RIG -Reduction Is Gain.
Oxidising & Reducing Agents
Oxidising agent
- A substance that oxidises another substance, in so doing becoming itself reduced.
- Common examples include hydrogen peroxide, fluorine and chlorine.
Reducing agent
- A substance that reduces another substance, in so doing becoming itself oxidised.
- Common examples include carbon and hydrogen.
- The process of reduction is very important in the chemical industry as a means of extracting metals from their ores.
I hope this will definitely help you while doing reaction!⌣😊😊
