Redox Reactions-worksheet

Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants, characterized by oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons). The document explains the roles of oxidizing and reducing agents and provides examples and practice problems for identifying oxidation and reduction in various chemical reactions. Key mnemonic 'LEO the lion goes GER' helps remember the concepts of oxidation and reduction.
