  2. Half-reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-reaction

    For oxidation-reduction reactions in acidic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, one will need to add H + ions to balance the hydrogen ions in the half reaction. For oxidation-reduction reactions in basic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, first treat it as an acidic solution and then add OH − ...

  3. Oxidation state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_state

    The number indicates the degree of oxidation of each element caused by molecular bonding. In ionic molecules, the oxidation numbers are the same as the element's ionic charge. Thus for KCl, potassium is assigned +1 and chlorine is assigned -1. [4] The complete set of rules for assigning oxidation numbers are discussed in the following sections.

  4. Disproportionation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disproportionation

    The chlorine reactant is in oxidation state 0. In the products, the chlorine in the Cl − ion has an oxidation number of −1, having been reduced, whereas the oxidation number of the chlorine in the ClO − 3 ion is +5, indicating that it has been oxidized. Decomposition of numerous interhalogen compounds involve disproportionation.

    The oxidation states are also maintained in articles of the elements (of course), and systematically in the table {{Infobox element/symbol-to-oxidation-state}} See also [ edit ]

  6. Charge number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_number

    One example is that someone can use the charge of an ion to find the oxidation number of a monatomic ion. For example, the oxidation number of + is +1. This helps when trying to solve oxidation questions. A charge number also can help when drawing Lewis dot structures. For example, if the structure is an ion, the charge will be included outside ...

  7. Reducing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_agent

    In the above equation, the Iron (Fe) has an oxidation number of 0 before and 3+ after the reaction. For oxygen (O) the oxidation number began as 0 and decreased to 2−. These changes can be viewed as two "half-reactions" that occur concurrently: Oxidation half reaction: Fe 0 → Fe 3+ + 3e −; Reduction half reaction: O 2 + 4e − → 2 O 2−

  8. Organic redox reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_redox_reaction

    Organic redox reactions: the Birch reduction. Organic reductions or organic oxidations or organic redox reactions are redox reactions that take place with organic compounds.In organic chemistry oxidations and reductions are different from ordinary redox reactions, because many reactions carry the name but do not actually involve electron transfer. [1]

  9. Oxygen balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_balance

    A molecule is said to have a positive oxygen balance if it contains more oxygen than is needed and a negative oxygen balance if it contains less oxygen than is needed. [2] An explosive with a negative oxygen balance will lead to incomplete combustion, which commonly produces carbon monoxide, which is a toxic gas. Explosives with negative or ...
