Chemical Reactions: Oxidation and Reduction

The video explains redox reactions, focusing on magnesium and aluminum. Magnesium loses electrons to form ions, while oxygen gains electrons in a redox reaction. The simultaneous occurrence of oxidation and reduction is highlighted. The video also covers the reaction between aluminum and copper chloride, where aluminum is oxidized and copper is reduced, resulting in the deposition of copper metal.

What occurs when aluminum foil reacts with copper chloride solution?

How do aluminum atoms behave during the reaction with copper ions?
