- Important Fact #1: Redox is not when the captain brings the boat back to the peer.
- Important Fact #2: Redox does not need a space between "red" and "ox"
- Q: How are oxidation - reduction reactions different than a clothing store?
A: At the clothing store, when the price is reduced, it doesn't gain anything. (In redox, when an atom is reduced, it gains electrons)
- Do you ever wonder if the oxidizing agent ever asks permission? I mean, seriously, how would you feel if some weird atom came up to you and let you take control of some weird flying things? (darn misquitoes)
- You might might not be a chemistry major if ....
Thoughts of redox bring to mind the steak you had for dinner.
- You might be a high school student if ...
You don't know what redox is, but it is certainly demonstrated by your truck.
- Knock knock
Who's there?
Hydrogen.
Hydrogen who?
No, hydrogen's oxidation number is 1.
- My name is Bond .... Covalent Bond
- I'll take my electrolyte shaken, not stirred.
- Q: How is the electrode where reduction takes place similar to a house pet?
A: One's a cathode, the other is just a cat
- Well, you see there were these two atoms who were working at Redox, Ltd. The boss came in one day and saw that they were both taking a break on the job. He flew into a rage and fired one of the atoms and got a replacement. When the other atom went home and told his wife, she got very upset. "How can you just sit there," she said,"You might get fired next."
"Don't worry," he said, "The boss never has any double replacement reactions."
All right, most of these jokes aren't very funny . . . but then again, neither are oxidation-reduction reactions.
