Redox Reactions

-driving force is electrons transferred
-losing electrons=oxidation(reducing agent)
-gaining electrons=reduced(oxidizing agent)

OIL RIG
(oxidation is lost, reduction is gain)

ELEMENTS REPLACE LIKE ELEMENTS, so non-metals to other non-metals and metals to metals

Synthesis- 2 or more reactants combine making 1 product

Decomposition- 1 reactant making multiple products

Combustion- oxygen as reactant, producing carbon dioxide and water

Redox for DUMMIES

Single Replacement
