Oxidation and reduction are powerful ideas for thinking about how charge is transferred within a reaction. As we'll see, it is something of a hypothetical, but it is, nonetheless, very useful.
Batteries power much of our lives (literally). In this tutorial, we'll use our knowledge of oxidation and reduction to understand how Galvanic/Voltaic cells actually work.
