Oxidation States: The Scorecard You Need For Every Redox Reaction and Half-Equation.

Matthew McCarrio· Host0:01

Have you ever wondered what oxidation states are? What does it mean? What are they used for? How do you calculate them? And how do you compare them with each other? If you've wondered about any of those things, you're certainly not alone, and you're in the right place. Those are the things we're going to be talking about in today's episode. Welcome back to the Chemistry Made Simple podcast. I'm your host, Matthew McCarrio. It's great to see you back here. And if you're new here, if this is your first time, let me introduce myself. I'm Matthew McCarrio. I'm a tutor, coach, and mentor for chemistry students just like you. If you're looking for the clear explanations of the chemistry principles, for example, oxidation states, then you're in the right place. Hit subscribe or follow, because this is the start of that journey to clarity. As I mentioned, in this episode, I'm going to talk about oxidation states. I'm gonna clarify everything about them. What do they even mean? What are they for? How do you calculate them? What are the rules for them too? And why am I doing that? Well, because it comes up, it's gonna come up in your exams time and time again. You need to know this stuff, so let's get on with it.
