5. Redox in terms of electrons

Available for over a year

In this episode, Dr Sunayana Bhargava and Tulela Pea explore redox reactions in terms of gain or loss of electrons. They explain how OILRIG can help us remember this. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, OCR. For more information on redox in terms of electrons, check out the BBC Bitesize website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zy7dgdm/revision/3 Key learning objectives discussed in this episode include: - Oxidation is the loss of electrons and reduction is the gain of electrons. Students should be able to: - write ionic equations for displacement reactions - identify in a given reaction, symbol equation or half equation which species are oxidised and which are reduced.
