CORNELL NOTES 4.1

LEARNING OBJECTIVES Notes
 Explain the different chemical
reactions.
 Predict expected products in a
particular chemical reaction. CHEMICAL REACTIONS

 Chemical Reactions
– These are chemical changes
 What are Chemical Reactions? that result in the
transformation of one or more
substances into one or more
new substances.

 What law does Chemical Chemical Reactions always follow
reactions follow? the Law of Conservation of
matter, wherein no atom both in
the reactant and product side is
changed.

 What are the types of  TYPES OF CHEMICAL
Chemical Reactions? REACTIONS:
• Oxidation-reduction (Redox)
reaction
• Precipitation
• Acid-base




REFLECTION
 Chemical Reactions are chemical changes that result in the change of
composition or transformation of one or more substances into a new
substance.
 Types of Chemical Reaction include Redox, Precipitation, and Acid-Base.

, REDOX REACTIONS

 What are Redox Reactions?  Oxidation-Reduction (Redox)
Reactions
– Chemical reactions involving
oxygen to form oxides.

 What is the difference between  PROPERTIES OF OXIDATION
Oxidation and Reduction? AND REDUCTION:

• In Oxidation:
 What happened to the · Electrons and Hydrogen
electrons in Oxidation? atoms are Lost.
· Oxygen Combine and the
 Does the Oxidation number Oxidation number
decrease or increase in increase.
Oxidation? ·
• In Reduction:
 What happened to the · Electrons are gained and
electrons in Reduction? Hydrogen atoms are
combined.
 Does the Oxidation number · Oxygen atoms are lost
decrease or increase in and the Oxidation
Reduction? number decrease.

 Oxidation Number (O.N.)
 What is O.N.
– The oxidation state of an
element in a compound.

The Oxidation number is also the
 What does Oxidation Number
charge of its atoms that would
possess?
possess if the compound was ionic.




REFLECTION
 Redox Reactions commonly involves oxygen to form oxides, but not all the
time.
 Redox Reactions involves Oxidation (Loses electrons) and Reduction (gains
electrons.
 Oxidation Number (O.N.) is the oxidation state of an element in a compound.
