Electrochemical Reactions In electrochemical reactions, electrons are transferred from one species to another. Translation: Redox reactions involve the gaining and losing of electrons.
Oxidation Numbers In order to keep track of what loses electrons and what gains them, we assign oxidation numbers.
Assigning Oxidation Numbers Use the chart given and identify the oxidation state of nitrogen in each of the compounds/ions given.
Examples… -3 -2 0 +1 +2 +4 +5 How’d you do? Any questions?
Oxidation • A species is oxidized when it loses electrons. • Here, zinc loses two electrons to go from neutral zinc metal to the Zn2+ ion.
Oxidation and Reduction • A species is reduced when it gains electrons. • Here, each of the H+ gains an electron and they combine to form H2.

Oxidation and Reduction • What is reduced is the oxidizing agent. • H+ oxidizes Zn by taking electrons from the zinc, being reduced in the process. • What is oxidized is the reducing agent. • Zn reduces H+ by giving it electrons, being oxidized in the process.
