Quick student answer

What should you know about (HT only) Link electron loss or gain to changes between atoms and ions?

Direct answer

In Chemistry, this page helps you answer questions about (HT only) Link electron loss or gain to changes between atoms and ions within Reactivity of metals. Focus on the key process, correct scientific terms, and how the idea links to exam-style questions. Key terms to check are Oxidation and Reduction.

Key terms

  • Oxidation: The loss of electrons by an atom, ion or molecule, resulting in an increase in oxidation state.
  • Reduction: The gain of electrons by an atom, ion or molecule, resulting in a decrease in oxidation state.

Common trap

Confusing Electron Loss and Gain: To fix this, students should practice identifying oxidation and reduction in various reactions, focusing on how the loss or gain of electrons affects the charge and identity of the atoms and ions involved.
