Redox reactions are an important conceptual pathway in chemistry. The understanding of redox begins with the gain and loss of oxygen and develops into the gain and loss of hydrogen. This paves the way to understanding all chemical reactions as a rearrangement of electrons.
In this course, you will see how ions are examined, noticing that metals are ranked into an ‘order of reactivity’ compared to each other in the reactivity series. From this, you will explore how oxidation numbers are a useful system of electron accounting to help identify when electron transfer has taken place, and use half equations to summarise and communicate those electron transfers. You will then have the opportunity to explore electrolysis, which involves the forced transfer of electrons by an applied voltage. Finally, you will see how the electrochemical series provides quantitative data which surpasses the qualitative reactivity series. In this course you will explore how to base teaching on fundamental understanding, rather than on simple application of conventions to these topics.
