Are you feeling the reduction-oxidation? Lost 3 e- 2Cr + 3SN4+  2CR3+ + 3Sn2+ Gained 2 e- Redox Blues Are you feeling the reduction-oxidation?

I took my car back to the dealer, said “This thing is almost new!”

“Just take a look at that fender— it’s almost rusted through!”

He said “You got REDOX, baby, eating at your car!”

You better do something quick… …before that process goes too far.

Redox It means reduction-oxidation. That’s a chem. abbreviation

That’s what’s got you down… …Nearly driving you insane

It happens when electrons are lost and gained. Lost 3 e- 2Cr + 3SN4+  2CR3+ + 3Sn2+ Gained 2 e-

e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- Now oxidation is a loss of electrons e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- And reduction is a gain e-

You see, oxidation and reduction always happen as a pair. But that’s just the beginning… You see, oxidation and reduction always happen as a pair. …There’s lots more to explain

Oxidation and reduction always happen as a pair If you got oxidation, reduction must be there

You see, it’s more than just corrosion, when metals meet the air. Redox = It’s more than just corrosion, when metals meet the air. +

Redox happens when you burn a match v. Or even bleach your hair

So get the rust off that car and paint it. And put on a happy face

Get the rust off that car and paint it. And put on a happy face

Until you seal it from the air REDOX will still take place
