Jurowski, Kamil; Krzeczkowska, Malgorzata Krystyna; Jurowska, Anna – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
The concept of oxidation state (or oxidation number) and related issues have always been difficult for students. In addition, there are misunderstandings and obscurities, which can cause improper balancing of the chemical equations (mostly in organic reactions). In particular, these problems are related to determination of the oxidation state of…
