Section 1 Oxidation and Reduction

Oxidation and Reduction as a Process


Any chemical process in which elements undergo changes in oxidation number is an oxidationreduction reaction. This name is often shortened to redox reaction.
The part of the reaction involving oxidation or reduction alone can be written as a half-reaction.

Redox Reactions and Covalent Bonds
When hydrogen burns in chlorine, a covalent bond forms from the sharing of two electrons.

The pair of electrons is more strongly attracted to the chlorine atom because of its higher electronegativity.

Section 2 Balancing Redox Equations

Half-Reaction Method
The half-reaction method for balancing redox equations consists of seven steps: 1. Write the formula equation if it is not given in the problem. Then write the ionic equation.

2. Assign oxidation numbers. Delete substances containing only elements that do not change oxidation state.

5. Conserve charge by adjusting the coefficients in front of the electrons so that the number lost in oxidation equals the number gained in reduction. 6. Combine the half-reactions, and cancel out anything common to both sides of the equation.
7. Combine ions to form the compounds shown in the original formula equation. Check to ensure that all other ions balance.
