LARN 165 C42D1 Your Goal: Your goal today should be to begin to learn the SINGLE ATOM RATIO method of balancing chemical expressions using oxidation numbers is explained with step by step examples on the ActivInspire flipchart for Oxidation and Reduction.  Reading section 20.3 and studying the change in oxidation number method will also add to your understanding.  [Please do NOT spend time reading or studying what your text calls the half reaction method and what other texts call the ion-electron method.  Wherever the text asks you to do an example using that method use the single atom ratio method instead!!]  To learn use any using oxidation numbers you will need to be able to assign the quickly and accurately so start out by reviewing the four rules and six priorities for assigning oxidation numbers assigned in LARN 163, and LARN 164.  Then move on to assigning oxidation numbers to each single atom in the assigned unbalanced chemical expressions and use one...
