Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The terms oxidation and reduction (in terms of electrons) are to be distinguished in the scientific terms.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation is the process in which the oxidation number of an element is increased. Reduction is the process in which the oxidation number of an element is decreased. Oxidation and reduction process are parts of a redox reaction.
(b)
Interpretation:
The terms Half-reaction equation, net ionic equation are to be distinguished in the scientific terms.
Concept introduction:
Redox reaction is the combination of both the
(c)
Interpretation:
The terms oxidation, reduction (in terms of oxidation numbers) are to be distinguished in the scientific terms.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation process is the process which undergoes by the loss of electrons from the species being oxidized. Reduction process is the process which undergoes by the gain of electrons by the reduced species. Oxidation and reduction process are parts of a redox reaction.
(d)
Interpretation:
The terms oxidizing agent (oxidizer), reducing agent (reducer) are to be distinguished in the scientific terms.
Concept introduction:
Redox reaction is the combination of both the oxidation and reduction reactions. Half-reaction equations are the oxidation half and reduction half balanced equations. The net ionic equation is the balanced redox equation.
(e)
Interpretation:
The terms electron transfer reaction, proton transfer reaction are to be distinguished in the scientific terms.
Concept introduction:
Redox reaction is the combination of both the oxidation and reduction reactions. Half-reaction equations are the oxidation half and reduction half balanced equations. The net ionic equation is the balanced redox equation.
(f)
Interpretation:
The terms strong oxidizing agent, weak oxidizing agent are to be distinguished in the scientific terms.
Concept introduction:
The oxidizing agent (oxidizer) is the species whose oxidation state falls during the reaction and the reduction agent (reducer) is the species whose oxidation number increases.
(g)
Interpretation:
The terms strong reducing agent, weak reducing agent are to be distinguished in the scientific terms.
Concept introduction:
The oxidizing agent (oxidizer) is the species whose oxidation state falls during the reaction and the reduction agent (reducer) is the species whose oxidation number increases.
(h)
Interpretation:
The terms atom balance, charge balance (in equations) are to be distinguished in the scientific terms.
Concept introduction:
Redox reaction is the combination of both the oxidation and reduction reactions. Half-reaction equations are the oxidation half and reduction half balanced equations. The net ionic equation is the balanced redox equation.
