A carbon atom within a molecule has been oxidized when it increases the number of bonds to oxygen and/or decrease the number of bonds to hydrogen.
A carbon atom within a molecule has been oxidized when it increases the number of bonds to oxygen and/or decrease the number of bonds to hydrogen. Reduction of a carbon atom occurs when it increases the number of bonds to hydrogen and/or decreases the number of bonds to oxygen. For each of the following reactions indicate over the arrow if it is an oxidation or a reduction, circle the carbon in the reactant whose oxidation state changes, write why it is an oxidation or reduction, and indicate the functional group transformation that occurs in the reaction. Follow the example problem given below when answering the questions.
