All the magic that we know is in the transfer of electrons. Reduction (gaining electrons) and oxidation (the loss of electrons) combine to form Redox chemistry, which contains the majority of chemical reactions. As electrons jump from atom to atom, they carry energy with them, and that transfer of energy is what makes all life on earth possible. **Special Thanks to Matt Young at the University of Montana (Geosciences Department, Environmental Biogeochemistry Lab) who helped with the chemical demonstrations.** Oxidation 1:42 Reduction 1:03 Oxidation Numbers 3:29 Redox Reactions 5:59 Oxidation Reactions 6:28 Balancing Oxidation Reactions 7:18 Also thank you to the following chemistry teachers for assistance: James Sarbinoff Rachel Wentz Edi González Lucas Moore Chris Conley Addie Clark Julia Rosinski Want to find Crash Course elsewhere on the internet?
