Oxidation and Reduction
• Describe the processes
of oxidation and
reduction.
• Identify oxidizing and
reducing agents.
• Determine the oxidation
number of an element in a
compound.
• Interpret redox reactions
in terms of change in
oxidation state.

that does not participate
in a reaction and is not
usually shown in an
ionic equation

Oxidation and reduction are
complementary—as an atom is oxidized,
another atom is reduced.

Oxidation and Reduction
Electron Transfer and Redox Reactions
• An oxidation-reduction reaction, or
redox reaction involves the transfer of
electrons from one atom to another.

Electron Transfer and Redox
Reactions (cont.)
• Oxidation is defined as the loss of
electrons from atoms of a substance.
Na → Na+ + e–
• Reduction is defined as the gain of electrons
by the atoms of a substance.
Cl2 + 2e– → 2Cl–

Oxidation and Reduction
Electron Transfer and Redox
Reactions (cont.)
• The oxidation number of an atom in an
ionic compound is the number of electrons
lost or gained by the atom when it forms an
ion.
• When an atom or ion is reduced, the
numerical value of its oxidation number
decreases.
• When an atom or ion is oxidized, its oxidation
number increases.

electrons in a redox reaction.

Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
• The substance that oxidizes another
substance by accepting its electrons is
called an oxidizing agent.
• The oxidizing agent is the substance that is
reduced in a redox reaction.

Oxidation and Reduction
Redox and Electronegativity
• Redox reactions are not limited to atoms of
an element changing to ions.
• Some redox reactions involve changes in
molecular substances or polyatomic ions.
N2(g) +3H2(g) → NH3(g)
• N is reduced and H is oxidized.

Oxidation and Reduction
Redox and Electronegativity (cont.)
• To determine which was oxidized and
which was reduced, you must know which
atom is more electronegative.
• Elements with high electronegativity are
strong oxidizing agents.

Balancing Redox Reactions
• Relate changes in
oxidation number to the
transfer of electrons.
• Use changes in
oxidation number to
balance redox
equations.
• Balance net ionic redox
equations using the
oxidation-number
method.

ionic equation that
includes only the
particles that participate
in the reaction

oxidation-number method
species
half-reaction
Redox equations are balanced when
the total increase in oxidation numbers
equals the total decrease in oxidation
numbers of the atoms involved in the
reaction.

Balancing Redox Reactions
The Oxidation-Number Method
• Chemical equations must be balanced to show
the correct quantities of reactants and products.
• The number of electrons transferred from atoms
must equal the number of electrons accepted by
other atoms.

Balancing Redox Reactions
The Oxidation-Number Method (cont.)
• The total increase in oxidation numbers must
equal the total decrease in oxidation numbers in
the reaction.
• This method is called the oxidation number
method.

Balancing Redox Reactions
Balancing Net Ionic Redox Equations
• Sometimes it is preferred to express redox
reactions in the simplest possible terms,
showing only the oxidation and reduction
processes.
• When balancing equations in acidic solution,
hydrogen ions (H+) or water molecules can be
added to either side of the equation.
• When balancing equations in basic solution,
hydroxide ions (OH–) or water molecules
can be added to either side of the equation.

Half-Reactions (cont.)
• In chemistry, a species is any kind of chemical
unit involved in a process.
• Oxidation-reduction reactions occur whenever a
species that can give up electrons comes in
contact with another species that can accept
them.

Key Concepts
• Oxidation-reduction reactions involve the transfer of
electrons from one atom to another.
• When an atom or ion is reduced, its oxidation number
is lowered. When an atom or ion is oxidized, its
oxidation number is raised.
• In oxidation-reduction reactions involving molecular
compounds (and polyatomic ions with covalent bonds), the
more-electronegative atoms are treated as if they are
reduced. The less-electronegative atoms are treated as if
they are oxidized.

Key Concepts
• Redox equations in which the same element appears in
several reactants and products can be difficult to
balance using the conventional method.
• The oxidation-number method is based on the number of
electrons transferred from atoms equaling the number of
electrons accepted by other atoms.
• To balance equations for reactions in an acid solution,
add enough hydrogen ions and water molecules to
balance the equation.
