Q1
In the context of redox reactions, what does the term 'oxidation state' refer to?
  1. The charge of an atom in a molecule
  2. The number of bonds an atom can form
  3. The energy level of electrons
  4. The size of an atom

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the context of redox reactions, what does the term 'oxidation state' refer to?
  • Step 1: Understand that every atom in a molecule can have a charge.
  • Step 2: The oxidation state is a way to represent that charge.
  • Step 3: If an atom loses electrons, its oxidation state increases (it is oxidized).
  • Step 4: If an atom gains electrons, its oxidation state decreases (it is reduced).
  • Step 5: The oxidation state helps us track how electrons are transferred in redox reactions.
