A type of reaction in which a substance gains oxygen or loses electrons.

A chemical equation used to show the electrons lost in oxidation or the electrons gained in reduction.

A type of reaction in which a substance loses oxygen or gains electrons.

A redox reaction is one in which a substance is oxidised and another is reduced.

A chemical equation in which reacting ions are shown; unreacting ions (spectator ions) are not included.

Reactions of the halogens: including displacement practical

In the Chemical Analysis unit, pupils will build on their knowledge of the periodic table to explore various techniques for analysing substances and interpreting data.

In the Patterns in the Periodic Table unit, pupils learned about the arrangement of elements in the periodic table and the trends in properties of elements.

This unit explores how elements' reactions are related to electron arrangement and atomic number. It covers the properties of Groups 1, 7, and 0 and explains how these depend on outer electrons. It also predicts element reactivity and reactions based on their positions in the periodic table.

Groups of the periodic table

An atom has lost an electron from its outer shell. 

There are more electrons than protons present in the ion

There are more protons than electrons present in the ion.

What does a negative charge on an ion mean?

What type of reaction occurs when a metal atom loses an outer electron to become a positive stable ion?

Which one of the following half equations is correct?

Which half equations show a reduction reaction?

Look at this displacement reaction:
F₂ (aq) + 2 KI (aq) → I₂ (aq) + 2KF (aq).
Identify a spectator ion.
