• Reduction - Gaining electrons• Oxidation - Losing electrons
Mnenomic- “OIL RIG”»Oxidation is Losing»Reduction is Gaining
• The reactions in which oxidation occurs with reduction are REDOX REACTIONS.
Redox Reactions

Need to know
• Electrodea conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object, substance, or region.

Electrodes
• Anode - Electrode at which the oxidation half reaction occurs
• Cathode - Electrode at which the oxidation half reaction occurs

•Electrolyte - a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent; water

Electrochemical cells• Converts chemical energy
into electrical energy• In a simple cell
– Two electrodes connected by a wire
– An acidified solution as the electrolyte
• Current passes from cathode to anode(from positive terminal to negative terminal)

Electrodes of a Simple CellAnode
• One electrode is the anode
• More reactive metal becomes the anode
• Oxidation half reaction occurs at anode
• Negative terminal
Cathode
• Other electrode is the cathode
• Less reactive metal becomes the cathode
• Reduction half reaction occurs at cathode
• Positive terminal
