Independent Practice:
Find the oxidation states for each of the
elements in each of the following
compounds:
• K2Cr2O7
• CO32-
• MnO2
• PCl5
• SF4
K = +1; Cr = +6; O = –2
C = +4; O = –2
Mn = +4; O = –2
P = +5; Cl = –1
S = +4; F = –1

• Reactions that are concerned with the transfer
of electrons.
• Also called ‘Redox’ reactions because oxidation
and reduction occur at the same time.
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

• The atom that undergoes oxidation is called the
‘reducing agent’
• The atom that undergoes reduction is called the
‘oxidizing agent’

Why Study Redox Reactions
Manufacturing metals
Energy from

• Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
• Reduction is the gain of electrons.

In light-sensitive sunglasses, UV light initiates an
oxidation-reduction reaction.

2Ag+ + 2Cl− 2Ag + Cl2
A. Which reactant is oxidized?
Cl − 2Cl− Cl + 2e−
B. Which reactant is reduced?
Ag+ 2Ag+ + 2e− 2Ag
Problem
Not All Reactions are Redox Reactions
- Reactions in which there has been no
change in oxidation number are NOT redox reactions.

chloride solutions combine

Example:
Zinc foil is added to a copper(II)nitrate solution.
Zn+ Cu(NO3)2 Cu + Zn(NO3)2
The net ionic for this reaction is:
Zn + Cu2+ Cu + Zn2+
The copper ion is being reduced: Cu2+ + 2e- Cu
The zinc atom is being oxidized: Zn Zn2+ + 2e-
The number of electrons gain / lost must be equal!

Zn replaces Cu2+
zinc undergoes oxidation
Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e-
Cu2+ undergoes reduction
Cu2+(aq) + 2e- Cu(s)

Zn Transfers Electrons to Cu2+
OIL Oxidation is losing electrons.
RIG Reduction is gaining electrons.

1 e– gained (each atom)(Reduced)
• Zn(s) + HCl(aq) ZnCl2 (aq) + H2(g)
0 +1 –1 +2 –1 0
2 e– lost (Oxidized)
• The oxidation state of chlorine remains unchanged.
3. Connect the atoms that are being oxidized or reduced.
How many electrons are gained and lost? What compound is
being oxidized? Reduced?
