Oxidation and Reduction Reactions - Basic Introduction

This chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into oxidation reduction reactions also known as redox reactions. This video explains how to identify the substance that is oxidized and reduced. In addition, it explains how to determine which compound or element is the reducing agent and which is the oxidizing agent. Combustion reactions and single replacement reactions are always redox reactions. Double replacement reactions such as precipitation reactions and acid base neutralization reactions are never redox reactions. Combination / Synthesis and Decomposition reactions may or may not be redox reactions.

Steps to learning chemistry
1. zone out for half the video
2. realize you zoned out
3. rewind
4. rinse & repeat

[hannahmariehortinela]

dude, your explanation makes 1000x more sense than my teacher’s 30 min lecture on this. Bless u

[balakay]

dude I originally got a 59 on an AP chem test, retook after watching your videos and got an 81. Thank you so much

[mohidkhan]

This guy has single handedly saved all of our tests/exams.

Something helpful my teacher taught me was OIL RIG which stands for:
Oxidation
Is
Losing electrons


Reduction
Is
Gaining electrons.


Hope this helped in any way :)

I trust you more than my chemistry teacher- I understand absolutely nothing for 3 weeks and the week before the test I start watching you and Khan academy on x2 speed non stop and get my A 😂 every topic. God send life saver... HERO!!!

[olivialeonardo]

tell me why we all agree that he's literally a better teacher than any of our professors

[daniel]

I Don't know if you understand the impact you're having on us students man. You've basically taught me Gen Chem 1 & 2 . A- and B+ thanks to you

[denisecuster]

i'm just going to be honest here, i love you.

[runfrvr]

I learned more from this video in 10 minutes than my entire text/lecture for this unit. Thank you!!!

[zuma]

God help everyone whoes came here studying for there exam 😭😭🙏

[aur.is..hre]

The Organic Chemistry Tutor will always be the goat.

[abigailbarrios]

I swear I spent 9 hours trying to understand and cried until I found this video and it just took me 16 minutes to understand.

[ataokilo]

i dont have a chemistry text book but i still pass because of this guy

[charliehoward]

Thank you for all of your videos. They have become a part of my daily routine while studying for my Chemistry class. I am a Biology major, and Chemistry is the only class I've ever had trouble with! I have brought my grade up a lot with the help of your videos. I highly recommend your videos to everyone!

[graceyb_]

I actually owe you my sanity and my life, dude. You explained so clearly what my confusing teachers couldn't, thank you 😭

[torontokush]

At this point I just watch your videos before i attempt any of the course work or readings.

[mona-mosd]

it's 9 p.m. the day before my exam bless u thank you im gonna binge watch these with occasional youtube procastination thank u once agn

[Fwing]

You are a genius. I hope all teachers can achieve such amazing talents for teaching abstract concepts.

[elifturk]

he is so much better than any chemistry teacher I have ever had
