Ionic 01

Oxidation -reduction (Redox)

" LEO the lion says GER "

Loss of Elections = Oxidation
Gain of Elections = Reduction

- Fe0 + S0 → Fe2+S2-

- Fe0 = 26pt, 26e-
- S0 = 16pt, 16e-

pt = protons
e- = electrons

* Fe is the reducing agent.
* S is the oxidizing agent.



Na+Cl- + Ag+NO3- → Na+Na3- + Ag+Cl-
There is nothing being oxidited, nothing being reduiced. NOT oxidation-reaction.




Oxidation Numbers

- The number of electrons that an atom lost or gained (or assumed) when it undergoes reaction.

H++Cl7+O42-, 8-
H+Cl5+O42-, 6-
H+Cl3+O24-, 2-
H+Cl+O2-
H+Cl-

Cl }1, 3, 5, 7


* Hydrogen is a1+ except when it is paired up with something with a higher electronegativity.

Na1+H

Ba2+O2-
H22+O22-
O2+F22-

# p+ = # e- → No change.


NH3-H33+, +
N22-H4+
N1-H22+, +O2-H+
N20
N21+O2-
N2+O2-
N23+O36-, 2-
N4+O22-
N25+O510-, 2-




Balance the number of Electrons on each side of equition. -This is called Net ionic equition.
You may able to know the charge from given chart or periodec table.
