Uncover the principles of electron transfer, electrochemical cells, and their real-world applications.
This unit explores the fascinating world of redox reactions, which are fundamental to many chemical and biological processes. You will learn about oxidation and reduction in terms of electron transfer and oxidation numbers, how to balance redox equations, and the applications of these reactions in electrochemical cells (batteries) and electrolysis. We'll also cover the important topic of rusting and its prevention.
