Oxidising & Reducing Agents
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1What is reduction?The gain of electrons.
- 2What is oxidation?The loss of electrons.
- 3What is an oxidising agent?Substance that accepts electrons. Causes another substance to be oxidised whilst it itself is reduced.
- 4What is a reducing agent?Substance that donates electrons. Causes another substance to be reduced whilst it itself is oxidised.
- 5Where are the strongest reducing agents found on the electrochemical series?Top right. Example = Lithium. (Group 1 elements)
- 6Where are the strongest oxidising agents found on the electrochemical series?Bottom left. Example = Fluorine. (Group 7 elements)
