I've mastered these sections if I am able to ...
  • know that oxidation is a process that involves the loss of electrons by any chemical species
  • know that reduction is a process that involves the gain of electrons by any chemical species
  • (from Chapter 4) remember that the oxidation number (state) of an atom is the charge that an atom in a covalently bonded substance would have if all of the shared electrons were transferred to the most electronegative atom
  • (from Chapter 4) know the rules for assigning oxidation states to atoms in substances
  • know the ion-electron method for balancing oxidation-reduction equations in both acidic and basic solutions
