Thank You Very Much!!!!!!!

This is actually really helpful~

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.

thnx ! this was so helpful hope 2 pass my Ap chem exam!!!!!!!

@goodacademics I understand now, thank you for your reply. Great video btw, it helped me alot :)

U saved me and my friends life!!! xD

OIL RIG : Oxidation is Loss , Reduction is Gain (of electrons)

@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.

Shouldnt oxidation numbers be written in roman numbers?

@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.

Hahah it is wrong. It cant be 3+ on one side and 2+ on the other side. Make noe sense!!

@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.
