1. is the loss of an electron by one reactant and is the gaining
of electrons by another.
2. In making homemade explosives, aluminum oxide shavings are often mixed with ammonium
nitrate - fuel oil (ANFO) explosive. What effect would this have on this explosive?
3. Why are halogens (F
2
, Cl
2
, Br
2
, I
2
, etc) called oxidizers?
Oxidation is the loss f electrons. Each of the halogen element potentially takes the electrons from
another element to make their own irons. This makes them oxidizing agents. Fluorine is a very
strong oxidizing agent and it is almost impossible to do a solution reactions with it. The oxidizing
ability of the halogens usually decrease as you go down the group.
4. Organic peroxides can self-react and combine to form unstable molecules. This type of self-
reaction is called.
A. precipitation
B. sublimation
C. hybridization
D. polymerization
