Document Summary

Redox reaction: something is giving electrons and something is accepting. Things that are giving and accepting get knot values. Ex stair example, someone at top and someone at bottom. Depending on where you are you get a knot value. Higher up has an electro(cid:374) (cid:894)(cid:396)edu(cid:272)ed state(cid:895) he has ele(cid:272)to(cid:396)(cid:374)s he"s willing to give. When he gives the electrons there is energy released. He goes from a reduced state to an oxideized state, who got the electrons did the opposite.
