Clues that a Chemical Reaction (rxn) has Occurred
1. Color changes
2. Solid forms
3. Bubbles form
4. Heat is produced or absorbed by monitoring the change
in temperature

Oxidation-Reduction
Reactions: a subset
 Oxidation-Reduction Reaction: or redox reactions

Rxns in which one or more electrons are transferred.
 Oxidation: Loss of electrons
 Reduction: Gain of Electrons

 Sodium is oxidized to Na+
 Chlorine is reduced to Cl Chlorine is oxidizing agent

Itself being reduced
 Sodium is reducing agent

polar. Oil floats on the surface of water because its
density is less than that of water.
