Last week in class, we learned about several different types of reactions to prepare for the unit test that we took on Thursday. The type that we spent the longest time learning about were redox reactions. This stands for reduction and oxidation. During this type of reaction, electrons are transferred from a metal to a non-metal. If a species loses electrons, it is oxidized and is the reducing agent.
