a. A redox reaction involves the transfer of atoms/electrons). b. Reduction is c. of electrons; oxidation is (A couple of common mnemonics are LEO-GER and OIL-RIG.) (protons/H of electrons. d. To keep track of the transfer of electrons, oxidation states are assigned to elements in a redox reaction. e. When an element undergoes reduction, its oxidations state (increases/decreases); when an element undergoes oxidation, its oxidation state (increases/decreases). f. For simplicity's sake, we'll mostly deal with monoatomic ions in this handout. Redox of course is not limited to such ions, to review the rules of assigning oxidation states to an element in any substance, see the appended Rules of Oxidation State Assignment handout.
