Redox Reactions
Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another.
Oxidation is the loss of electrons, while reduction is the gain of electrons.
Oxidizing agents cause oxidation, while reducing agents cause reduction.
The oxidation number of an element is the charge it would have if all its bonds were ionic.
Balancing redox reactions involves balancing the number of electrons transferred and the number of atoms on each side of the equation.
