Are you preparing for your GCSE & IGCSE chemistry exams and need to revise ionic half equations?

Do you want to learn how to balance the charges and atoms in ionic half equations faster?

Do you want to revise the concepts of oxidation and reduction in chemistry with a simple mnemonic that will save you time?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this Ionic Half Equations tutorial video is for you!

This Ionic Half Equations explainer video is a revision resource for GCSE & IGCSE chemistry students who want to master ionic half equations for electrolysis reactions. As you know, Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to break down compounds into their elements. Ionic half equations are a way of showing the transfer of electrons at each electrode during electrolysis. BUT, you need to master ionic half equations for your GCSE & IGCSE chemistry exams, as they are often tested in questions on electrochemistry - so start revising for 2024/2025.

In this video, you will learn:

How to write ionic half equations for the reduction of metal ions and the oxidation of non-metal ions
How to balance the number of atoms and the charges of the ions and the electrons in ionic half equations
How to apply ionic half equations to different scenarios, such as the electrolysis of lead bromide and aqueous solutions
How to use the mnemonic OIL RIG to remember the concepts of oxidation and reduction in chemistry
How to avoid common mistakes that students make when balancing ionic half equations
How to answer tricky questions where you have to identify the correct ionic half equation from a given list, or write the overall equation for the electrolysis reaction

This video will help you to master ionic half equations and show you what examiners are looking for, as well as how many marks you can get for each correct answer.

By the end of this video, you will be able to:

Write ionic half equations for any electrolysis reaction
Balance the charges and atoms in ionic half equations with ease
Apply the concepts of oxidation and reduction to ionic half equations
Solve any exam question on ionic half equations with confidence
This video is the ultimate revision resource for ionic half equations.

Watch this video now and master ionic half equations for your mock exam revisions and GCSE & IGCSE chemistry exams!

This video is relevant and applicable for Edexcel, AQA and OCR, CIE, GCSE & IGCSE Chemistry revision and exam boards.
