MODULE ABOUT REDUCTION-OXIDATION REACTION (REDOX) Puzon, Trisha Gaile V. 9-Kelvin Ms. Laura Canceran INTRODUCTION As time passes by, I’ve realized many things such as chemistry isn’t easy subject to learn because sometimes intelligence doesn’t matter the most. Intelligence must be mixed with some hardwork and dedication. In our Grade 7 & 8, we’ve tackled about the basic properties of common elements but now we are studying it in more complicated way than before so I think it is kind of challenge for me. I must admit that I’m not good at chemistry, like those studying of elements and memorizing such atomic masses and other stuffs. For me, mastering any topic in Chemistry is one of the biggest achievements in life. This module …show more content…

Any such reaction involves both a reduction process and a complementary oxidation process, two key concepts involved with electron transfer processes.n Redox reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed; in general, redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. The chemical species from which the electron is stripped is said to have been oxidized, while the chemical species to which the electron is added is said to have been reduced. It can be explained in simple terms: Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.As an example, during the combustion of wood, oxygen from the air is reduced, transferring electrons from the carbon. OBJECTIVES • To be able to solve reduction oxidation reaction problems. • To show the step by step procedure on how redox is happening. Redox Reaction What is “Redox Reaction”?  It is a short term for REDuction-OXidation Reaction  It is made up of two half made reactions.  It is a reaction in which the electrons are transferred from one species to another.  Redox reactions normally require the presence of two reactants: • in one reactant has the oxidation number of an element …show more content…
