@JeppyWick Some teachers would use this acronym to help students to memorize it. But it could be confusion somehow because, to students, it may be counter-intuitive about "reduction" and "gaining". Therefore, I would rather encourage students to understand what oxidation and reduction are about, and then use the conceptual understanding to help the memorization.
Thank you so much! Electro-chemistry always gets me because everything's back the front. Gaining charge = reduced, the reduced is the oxidizer, etc. This explained it really well.
@simcity92 If we write the oxidation number in a chemical formula, yes, we would write it in roman numerals. Since we are assigning oxidation number to each element in the compound, we do not need to use roman numerals.
It's.....7:15 pm Sunday night and I'm doing my chemistry homework. I have no idea what in the world I'm even looking at untill I finished watching this video. Thanks just need to watch the otter parts and hope I uderstand
@syrenissen Because the oxidation numbers are not the same, then we have to balanced the reaction. This is done by using half reactions to balance out the oxidation number, charges, and quantities.
Sir thank you for your help i am only in year 9 at a public school but its people like you who will help me to achieving my dream as a scientist working at exolmobile
Thank You Very Much!!!!!!!
