Document Summary

(cid:403) oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions (cid:403) redox reactions are those in which electrons are transferred from one reactant to the other. The rusting of iron, the bleaching of hair, and the production of electricity in batteries involve redox reactions. Many redox reactions, like the ones just mentioned, involve the reaction of a substance with oxygen. In any case, oxidation is referred to as the loss of electrons and reduction is referred to as the gain of electrons. The transfer of electrons, however, need not be a complete transfer, as occurs in the formation of an ionic compound, for the reaction to qualify as oxidation-reduction. Metals + non-metals ionic compounds: ex: fe + o2 fe2o3. Non-metals + non-metals covalent compounds: ex: p4 + 6cl2 4pcl3. Hc ch + 2h2 h3c---ch3 (cid:403) decompositions. The separation of a chemical compound into elements or smaller compounds: ex: 2h2o2 2h2o + o2 (cid:403) (cid:403)
