Chapter 4 Continued 9/19/16 ● Oxidation-Reduction Reactions ○ Oxidation ■ Loss of electrons ○ Reduction ■ Gain of electrons ○ Oxidizing agent ■ Gains electrons, is reduced ○ Reducing agent ■ Loses electrons, is oxidized ○ Oxidation and reduction are always together; one species transfers electrons to another ○ Oxidation is Loss, Reduction Is Gain; OIL RIG ○ Anything that reacts with O2 (except F2) is oxidized (loses electrons), but oxygen is not required for redox to occur ○ Reactions of metals and nonmetals to give ionic compounds are common subclass of redox rxns ● Oxidation state ○ Assigning element
