Oxidation-reduction reactions, balancing equations

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron. Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions are important because they are the world’s primary […]

High-temperature exothermic chemical reaction between “reductant” (fuel) and “oxidant” (oxygen from the air) is known as “combustion.” “Smoke” is the mixture of oxidized, gaseous products that result from this process. Burning may not always result in flames, but when it does a flame serves as a clear indicator of the chemical process that took place.

The Corey–House synthesis (also known as the Corey–Posner–Whitesides–House reaction and other variations) is an organic reaction in which a lithium divinylcuprate (R2CuLi) reacts with an organic pseudohalide (RX) to produce, byproducts include a novel alkane, an unidentified organocopper molecule, and lithium halide. In theory, a carbanion equivalent such as an organolithium or Grignard reagent can

It involves the transformation of many types of matter from one form to another. Different types of reactions cause this. Redox Reactions are one of the most important categories among the numerous types of reactions (Oxidation and Reduction).  Redox reactions come in a variety of forms. To better grasp the classification of redox processes, let’s

Free radicals are the products of normal cellular metabolism. A free radical can be defined as an atom or molecule containing one or more unpaired electrons in a valence shell or outer orbit and is capable of independent existence. The odd number of electron(s) of a free radical makes it unstable, short-lived, and highly reactive.

The loss of electrons or a rise in the oxidation state of an ion, atom, or specific atoms in a molecule is referred to as oxidation. It’s also known as a reaction in which an element reacts with oxygen. Magnesium oxidation, for example, is the result of a chemical reaction between magnesium metal and oxygen,

Introduction Nitrogen monoxide is a colorless gaseous compound also known as nitric oxide and has the formula NO. It is one of the most common nitrogen oxides. Nitric oxide is a free radical, meaning it possesses an unpaired electron, which is sometimes indicated in its chemical formula NO.  The class of heteronuclear diatomic molecules, a type
