Electron Exchange In Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

This video tutorial explores oxidation-reduction reactions, focusing on electron exchange. It explains the concept of redox reactions, where oxidation is the loss of electrons and reduction is the gain of electrons. The video uses examples like lithium and mercury, as well as hemoglobin, to illustrate these concepts. It also discusses the role of transition metals and their variable oxidation states, using chromium and manganese as examples. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding redox reactions beyond just oxygen involvement.
