O - Level Chemistry - Redox

The document is about redox reactions in O level chemistry. It provides questions about defining oxidation in terms of electrons, hydrogen, oxygen, and change in oxidation state. It asks the learner to deduce ionic equations and write half reactions for redox reactions, identifying oxidized and reduced substances and oxidizing and reducing agents. It also asks the learner to explain observations and calculate products based on changes in oxidation states.
