Helpful Hint: Oxidation and Reduction...

When looking at simple problems, redox reactions make perfect sense to me. As we all know, the body and life are not simple processes therefore most reactions are not quite simple, so the more complex problems have confused me a bit. I personally always love to watch Khan Academy videos in any subject applicable because they are just so helpful! So when I found this video I was ecstatic! This video has helped me a great deal because it really breaks down what is happening in redox reactions and takes you step by step when explaining what occurs. The video also gives little hints on ways to remember certain terms and concepts. The video basically is a lecture, but it is in no way boring. I also like this video because it incorporates concepts we have already learned and mastered this year (i.e. electronegativity) to explain the oxidation and reduction reactions. So, this video will help you understand the concepts more if you're a bit confused. It will also help if you want to watch a quick lecture to refresh or confirm the concepts in your mind!
