General Chemistry - Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers | 19.1 General Chemistry

Chad begins a chapter on Electrochemistry with a lesson on How to Assign Oxidation Numbers (i.e. Oxidation States). Six rules for determining oxidation numbers are presented, and numerous examples have the oxidation numbers of their elements properly assigned using these rules. This includes elements in their elemental form, binary compounds, compounds with more than two elements, elements with fractional oxidation states, transition metals, and polyatomic ions. I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page.
