Chemistry - Redox Reactions - Introduction to oxidation and reduction - Electron Transfer Visualizer
Interactive animation showing electron transfer in redox reactions. Show 3 reactions the student can toggle between. Reaction 1: Mg + O₂ → MgO. Animate: Mg atom loses 2 electrons (show them flying off) → Mg²⁺. O atom gains 2 electrons (show them attaching) → O²⁻. Label: Mg is OXIDIZED (loses e⁻), O₂
