UNDERSTANDING REDOXS AND REDOXS CONCEPTS

               Redox is a term that describes the change in oxidation state (oxidation state) of atoms in a chemical reaction.This can be a simple redox process like carbon oxidation that produces carbon dioxide, or carbon reduction by hydrogen to produce methane (CH4), or it can be a complex process such as the oxidation of sugar in the human body through a series of complicated electron transfer.

The term redox comes from two concepts, namely reduction and oxidation.

1)     Oxidation describes the release of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion.

2)     Reduction describes the addition of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion.

·       STUDNTE : teacher! So, it can be said of a substance that undergoes oxidation reactions and reduction reactions.

·       TEACHER: Yes of course, redox can also be interpreted as a substance that undergoes oxidation reactions and reduction reactions.

·       STUDNTE : So how is the teacher's mother, we can determine the redox reaction

·       TEACHER: Of course we must know the redox concepts.

Seen from the concept, then the redox is divided into 3 concepts.

               The first based on the release and binding of oxygen.

1.     the reduction reaction is the reaction that occurs due to the release of oxygen from a substance.

2.     oxidation reaction is a reaction that occurs due to the binding of oxygen from a substance.

               The second is based on the binding and release of electrons.

1.     The reduction reaction is the reaction that occurs due to the binding of electrons by a substance.

2.     Oxidation reaction is a reaction that occurs due to the release of electrons by a substance.

               The third is based on the fall and rising of oxidation.

1.     The reduction reaction is the reaction that occurs due to the decline in the number of oxidants.

2.     Oxidation reaction is a reaction that occurs due to the rise of biloks numbers.

·       STUDNTE : Sorry mother teacher, here I am still very lacking in understanding the concept of redox, how we can understand the concept of redox is good dengat,

·       TEACHER: So like this, redox has 3 concepts in it as the mother explained earlier, but the redox was seen from the definition of reduction and oxidation there are 4 namely:

In terms of oxygen:

1.     Reduction is the release of oxygen.

2.     Oxidation ie oxygen capture.

               In terms of hydrogen.

1.     Reduction of hydrogen capture.

2.      Oxidation is the release of hydrogen.

               Viewed from electrons.

1.     Reduction ie electron capture.

2.     Oxidation is the release of electrons.

               In terms of the oxidation number.

1.     Reduction is the decrease of oxidation.

2.     Oxidation ie the rise of biloks.

·       STUDNTE : Thanks to the teacher now I can understand the concepts that exist in redok.

·       TEACHER: Well, because you now understand redox concepts and redox notions, now the teacher wants to ask questions as soon as you understand the material that the mother has to say. So what is the oxidation and reduction number?

·       STUDNTE: 

a)     The oxidation describes the release of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion 

b)     Reduction describes the addition of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion.

·       TEACHER: Okay good answer, but Oxidation and reduction precisely refer to changes in oxidation number for actual electron transfer will not always happen. 

Thus, oxidation is better defined as an increase in oxidation number, and reduction as a decrease in oxidation. In practice, electron transfer will always change the oxidation number, but there are many reactions that are classified as "redox" even though no electron transfer reactions (eg involving covalent bonds).

·       TEACHER: Mother teacher think you already very understand the material that mother give, so mother of teacher end with greeting  Wassallammu’allaikum. Wr.Wb.

·       Wa’alaikumsallam. Wr. Wb.
