By the end you’ll be able to

define oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen gain or loss and, where required, electron loss or gain
identify redox reactions and state which species is oxidised and which is reduced
recall and apply the reactivity series of metals and carbon to compare the reactivity of common metals

0% read

predict and explain displacement reactions involving metals and aqueous solutions of metal salts

interpret experimental observations to place metals in order of reactivity and to justify conclusions about relative reactivity
