Physics Classroom is making strides to make our site accessible to everyone. Our site contains 6 navigation areas. The Primary, Secondary, and Page Level navigations have a screen reader version of their nav structure that allows using the left and right keys to navigate sibling navigation items, and up or down keys to navigate parent or child navigation items. The others can be navigated using tabs. The Primary Navigation handles the first 2 levels of site pages. The Secondary (which is not always available) handles the 3rd and 4th level of structure. The Page level navigation allows you to navigate the current page's headings quickly. The Header Navigation contains the Light/Dark Mode toggle, Search, Notifications and account login. The Breadcrumb Navigation contains the breadcrumb of the current page. If the current page has a breadcrumb, you can get to it by skipping to the content and tabbing in reverse (shift plus tab). The Footer Navigation contains links such as Privacy, Contact, about and terms. Some resources contain an Audio Player that can be activated by holding down the T key for 3 seconds, and then using K to pause and resume. While not every area of Physics Classroom is usable purely from keyboard and screen reader, we are committed to continue work on making this possible. If you have questions or need additional help, please use this link to contact us.

Concept Builders - Electrochemistry

Oxidation is an electrifying topic you'll learn more about in these Concept Builders. We know you'll get a charge out of them!

Activities

Cell Voltage

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use the Reduction Potential Table to determine the cell voltage of a galvanic cell.

Galvanic Cells

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To create a galvanic cell diagram, identifying the anode and cathode, the direction of electron flow and positive and negative ion flow, and identifying the half equations occurring in each half-cell.

Oxidation-Reduction

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To use oxidation numbers to determine the elements being oxidized and reduced in an oxidation-reduction reaction and to identify the oxidizing and reducing agents.

Oxidation States

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To identify the oxidation state of elements in various substances.

Reduction Potential

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To interpret a standard reduction potential table in order to make judgements about the strength and capability of oxidizing and reducing agents.
