Practice 2: Intro to redox

An element is easily oxidized if it has a high tendency to _{[ gain || lose ]} electrons.

An element is easily reduced if it has a high tendency to _{[ gain || lose ]} electrons.

The most reactive metals, e.g. potassium, have a _{[ high || low ]} tendency to donate electrons.

The most reactive non-metals, e.g. chlorine, have a _{[ high || low ]} tendency to accept electrons.

The most reactive metals have a _{[ high || low ]} tendency to oxidize other atoms.

The most reactive non-metals have a _{[ high || low ]} tendency to reduce other atoms.

The most reactive metals have a _{[ high || low ]} tendency to be oxidized by other atoms.

The most reactive non-metals have a _{[ high || low ]} tendency to be reduced by other atoms.

To get Cl^–, neutral chlorine must be _{[ oxidized || reduced ]}

To get Na⁺, neutral sodium must be _{[ oxidized || reduced ]}

To get O^2-, neutral oxygen must be _{[ oxidized || reduced ]}

Ca²⁺ is  _{[ less || more ]}  oxidized than Ca⁺
