Earth.

Water, the Common Solvent

A polar molecule because

of its unequal charge

distribution.

– More negative charge on

the oxygen

– More positive charge on

the hydrogen

1. Oxidation state of an atom in an element = 0

2. Oxidation state of monatomic ion = charge of the ion 3. Oxygen = –2 in covalent compounds (except in

peroxides where it = –1)

4. Hydrogen = +1 in covalent compounds 5. Fluorine = –1 in compounds

6. Sum of oxidation states = 0 in compounds

Concept Check

Find the

oxidation states

for each of the

elements in each of the following

compounds:

• K2Cr2O7 • CO3

(80)

Section 4.9

Oxidation–Reduction Reactions

Why do we need to assign oxidation

states at all ?

– To keep track of transfer of electrons

in reactions

Transfer may occur to form ions

– Ionic compounds

Transfer maybe be more subtle

– Covalent compounds

Transfer of Electrons

Na loses an electron, Cl

2

gains an electron

C changes its oxidation state from – 4 to +4

(82)

Section 4.9

Oxidation–Reduction Reactions

• Oxidation

Increase in oxidation state – Involves loss of electrons

– The substance that is oxidized is the reducing agent

• Reduction

Decrease in oxidation state – Involves gain of electrons

Redox Characteristics

Na loses an electron

Increase in oxidation state Is oxidized

Is reducing agent

Cl2 gains an electron

Decrease in oxidation state Is reduced

Redox Characteristics

Carbon in methane loses electrons Carbon is oxidized

Methane (CH4) is the reducing agent (entire compound)

Oxygen gains electrons Oxygen is reduced

Concept Check

For the following oxidation-reduction reactions

Identify which atom is oxidized and which is reduced. Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.

a) Zn (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) b) 2 CuCl (aq) → CuCl2 (aq) + Cu (s)

Section 4.10

Balancing Oxidation–Reduction Equations

1. Write the unbalanced equation.

2. Determine the oxidation states of all atoms in

the reactants and products.

3. Show electrons gained and lost using “tie

lines.”

4. Use coefficients to equalize the electrons

gained and lost.

5. Balance the rest of the equation by inspection.

6. Add appropriate states.

1. By oxidation states

2. Method of half reactions (Ch 18)

Why do we have to do either of these?

Normally when we balance an equation we are only concerned about the atoms

In a redox reaction we also have to be concerned with the movement of electrons.
