Journal Entry:

What is the oxidation number of nitrogen in N₂,  NH₄⁺ and N₂0₇?

Learning Intentions

• You will learn that electrons are transferred from the substance that is oxidized to the substance that is reduced and be able to identify each

• You will learn how to determine an Activity Series for a group of Metals to determine whether a redox reaction will occur when two substances are combined.

Closing Task:

You can predict whether a reaction will take place between two reactants using the activity series of metals.

Content Standards being covered:

In oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, there is a net transfer of electrons. The species that loses electrons is oxidized, and the species that gains electrons is reduced. (EK 3.B.3)
