    REDOX
    Reactions
    Oxidation
    Oxidation and reduction take place together at
    the same time in the same reaction. There are
    three definitions of oxidation. oxygen is added
    to an element or a compound, an element, ion
    or compound loses electrons, the oxidation
    state of an element is increased.
    OXIDATION STATES - The oxidation state is a
    pr
    number assigned to an atom or ion
    in a compound which indicates the degree of
    oxidation or reduction. For example – O2-
    Has and oxidation state of -2
    Reduction
    yThere are three definitions of reduction. It is a reaction
    in which: oxygen is removed from an element or a
    compound, an element. ion or compound gains
    electrons or the oxidation state of an element is
    decreased. Oxidizing agents are substances that gain
    electrons from other substances. E.g. – Oxygen.
    Reducing agents are substances that donate electrons
    to other substances, leading to the reduction of the
    latter. E.g. – Hydrogen and metals
    Half Ionic
    Equation
    To understand Half ionic equations we must know what an

    s
    ionic equation is. Ionic equations are used to show only the
    particles that actually take part in a reaction
    These equations show only the ions that change their status
    during a chemical process
    The other ions present are not involved and are called
    spectator ions. So in a neutralization reaction with the net
    ionic reaction as H + OH- the oxidizing half equation will be
    2H⁺ (aq) → H(g)₂ + 2e⁻ and the reducing half ionic equation -
    2OH⁻(aq) + 2e⁻ → H₂O(l)
    Uses of
    Redox
    Reaction
    Redox reactions are central to corrosion, an electrochemical
    process where metals oxidize upon exposure to elements like
    oxygen and moisture. In this process, the metal undergoes
    oxidation by losing electrons, leading to its degradation.
    Galvanization, a technique used to protect against corrosion,
    involves a redox reaction where a sacrificial layer of zinc is

    s
    applied to steel or iron surfaces. This sacrificial zinc layer
    oxidizes preferentially, shielding the underlying metal from
    corrosion by serving as the site for oxidation instead.
