This educational material explores oxidation and reduction (redox) reactions, detailing their significance in various chemical processes including batteries, combustion, and photosynthesis. It describes key concepts such as the transfer of electrons, oxidation states, and the distinctions between oxidation and reduction. Real-world applications are discussed, such as in fuel cells and the process of rusting. Developed as part of the Australian School Innovation in Science, Technology, and Mathematics project, this resource is valuable for students and educators in understanding the fundamentals of redox chemistry.

Refraction and Optical Fibres • When light travels from one medium to another it changes speed. • It also changes direction.
Chemical reaction types Redox reactions can be : * Single replacement reaction * Combination reactions * Decomposition * Combustion reactions Acid-base reactions & double replacement reactions
Redox Reactions Involve a transfer of electrons between reacting species. … Takes place when reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously RED+ OX = REDOX
