Oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions

Define oxidation and reduction through electron transfer and changes in oxidation state. Assign oxidation numbers, identify oxidizing and reducing agents, and balance redox equations in acidic and basic environments using half-reactions. Evaluate driving forces using the activity series and particulate reasoning.
