Least electropositive

The element in the higher position in the electrochemical series or the more electropositive element, is the element that tends to release electrons to form positive ions.

Mn+

The . (more/ less) electropositive element is oxidized more . (easier / harder )and acts as a .. ( stronger / weaker) reducing agent.

The element that is located higher in the electrochemical series can displace other elements that are .. in the electrochemical series from its salt solution.

Example : Zn Zn Cu2+ + + CuSO4 Zn2+ 2e + 2e Cu ZnSO4 [ Oxidation ] [ Reduction ] + Cu

Zinc, Zn is more electropositive than copper,Cu. Thus atom Zn releases two electrons to form ion Zn2+. The electrons are transferred from atom Zn to the copper(II) ion, Cu2+. The copper(II) ion, Cu2+ receives the two electrons to form atom copper, Cu.

Atom Zn acts as Ion Cu2+ acts as b) Displacement reaction of halogens from their halide solutions by other halogens. Halogens are located in Group .. of the Periodic Table Halogen elements tend to receive electrons to achieve a stable electron arrangement. Halogens are reduced to halide ions Therefore, halogen acts as ..( a reducing agent/ an oxidizing agent ). The tendency of halogen s to receive electrons decreases when going down Group 17. Thus, the reactivity of halogens acting as .. decreases when going down the group 17.

4. Rusting as a redox reaction 4.1 Corrosion of metals The corrosion of metals occur when a metal loses electrons and is oxidized to form the metal ion. The metal is corroded. M Examples : Atom sodium, Na, loses 1 electron to form sodium ion, Na+. Sodium is oxidized. Na . + e. Mn+ + ne

Atom Aluminium, Al loses 3 electrons to form aluminium ion, Al3+ . Aluminium is oxidized. Equation : . 4.2 Rusting of iron Iron, Fe gets rusted or corroded when it loses electrons to form iron(II)ion, Fe2+. Fe Fe2+ + 2e The rusting of iron occurs in five stages. Explanation At the centre of the water droplet (anode), the iron loses two electrons and is oxidized to iron(II) ion, Fe2+ . The potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) solution is used to detect the presence of iron(II) ion, Fe2+. ( dark blue spot ) Fe 2 Fe2+ + 2e water oxygen / air

The rusting of iron requires

Stage 1

The electrons that are released by the iron, flow to the edge of the water droplet through the iron At the edge of the water droplet (cathode) ,oxygen and water received electron and is reduced to hydroxide ions, OH- . The OH- ion can be

detected by the phenolphthalein indicator, in which a pink colour is formed. O2 4 + 2H2O + 4e 4OH-

Iron(II) ions, Fe2+, and hydroxide ions, OH-, combine to form a green solid, namely iron(II) hydroxide, Fe(OH)2 Fe2+ + 2OH Fe(OH)2

iron(II) hydroxide, Fe(OH)2 is then oxidized to a brown solid, namely hydrated iron(III) oxide, Fe2O3.3H2O (rust) by the oxygen in the air. Fe(OH)2
Oxygen in the air

Fe2O3.3H2O

Draw a labeled diagram (rusting of iron) according to the above explanation.

4.3 Preventing the rusting of iron Using protective layer ( surface protection ) Coating by a layer of metal such as tin. Applying paint, oil or grease on the surface of iron. Wrapping the iron s surface with a layer of plastic.

Electrochemical protection

The surface of the iron is protected by the more electropositive metal The coating of iron with a protective layer of zinc is called galvanization Items made of iron are tied to a big filled with magnesium or zinc powder. Magnesium or zinc will be corroded.

Using sacrificial metal (cathode protection)

Alloying

Iron is alloyed with other metals such as chromium or nickel to produce stainless steel.
