Document Summary

Something has to be giving and accepting electrons. A is giving to b- a is reducing b, b is oxidizing a, b is being reduced or a is being oxidized. All electron reduction reactions need an electron source. There is a redox potential lower or more negative the more willing to give your electrons, the higher or more positive, the more you want to take electrons. There is energy released or produced when the ball goes down the stairs. If you"re at the bottom of the stairs and you want to break the ball you need to invest energy in order to get thrown. If a wants to give electrons to b = produce energy. B give electrons to a = cost energy. Amount of energy depends on the distance between a & b. Top of the stairs higher redox potential, lower is opposite. Difference between the 2 is the difference in e.
