Chemistry: Redox Reaction

What is Redox Reactions?

Reactions involving change of an oxidation number/transfer of electron.
When there’s Oxidation, there’s Reduction.

Fun Fact: 
"Oxidation" comes from Oxygen = powerful acceptor (electron stealer!), oxidizing just about everything it contact with.

Remember, “oxidation” is a powerful ‘electron stealer’-----thus, an oxidised substance lost its electrons.

The atom which gains electrons reduces its oxidation number.
The atom which loses electrons increases its oxidation number.
