Reduction/Oxidation REDOX
Reduction • Gain of electrons by element • Element gaining electrons--charge goes down, becoming more negative • One method of purifying metal
Oxidation • Loss of electrons by element • Element losing electrons--charge goes up, becoming more positive • (Rusting iron) • Reduction and oxidation ALWAYS go together. • One element gives electrons to the other.
Remember electron dot structures? • Symbol of element with dots around it representing valence electrons • Can be used to show REDOX processes .Mg.
Mg atom: 12 (+) protons 12 (-) electrons 0 charge Mg0 Mg ion: 12 (+) protons 10 (-) electrons + 2 charge Mg+2 Remember Ions v. Atoms?
Show Mg forming ion with dot structures: • Mg Mg2+ + 2e- ( ) • (Atom) (ion) (electrons lost) (No charge) • Is Magnesium reduced or oxidized? • Where did the 2 electrons go?
Mg + 2Ag+ Mg2+ + Ag + Ag • What is oxidized? Reduced?
Mg + 2Ag+ Mg2+ + Ag + Agoxidizedreduced • What caused the magnesium to be oxidized? • Silver. • This is called the Oxidizing agent • What caused the silver to be reduced? • Magnesium • This is called the Reducing agent See Modeling Matter p.124-125 for more!
REDOX WORKSHEET • Label charges: Elements all alone have no charge (0) • Polyatomic ions can be found on chart • Metals and nonmetals are on periodic table • LEO--Charge goes up • GER--Charge goes down • Reduction also method of purifying metal
