## Reactions and ions

### Redox reactions

A redox reaction is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation state of atoms participating in the reaction.

### Ions

An atom (or ion) whose oxidation number increases in a redox reaction is said to be oxidized (and is called a reducing agent). It is accomplished by loss of one or more electrons. The atom whose oxidation number decreases gains (receives) one or more electrons and is said to be reduced. This relation can be remembered by the following mnemonics.

* Leo says Ger! or Leo the lion, Ger! can be used to represent Loss of electron is oxidation; Gain of electron is reduction.[24][25]
* Oil Rig: Oxidation is loss; Reduction is gain (of electrons).[26]
* Cations are Plussy Cats.

### Cations and anions

Cations are positively (+) charged ions while anions are negatively (−) charged. This can be remembered with the help of the following mnemonics.

* Cats have paws ⇔ Cations are pawsitive.[27]
* Ca+ion: The letter t in cation looks like a + (plus) sign.[28]
* An anion is a negative ion. (An ~~egative~~ ion ⇒ Anion).[29]

### Oxidation vs. reduction: electrochemical cell and electron gain/loss

* AN OIL RIG CAT:
* At the ANode, Oxidation Involves Loss of electrons.
* Reduction Involves Gaining electrons at the CAThode.[30]
* LOAN – Left Anode Oxidation Negative.
* In written representation of galvanic cell, anode is written on the left. It is the electrode where oxidation takes place. It is the negative electrode. Obviously, the opposite properties (Right/Cathode/Reduction/Positive) are found on the cathode. Hence, by remembering LOAN mnemonic, we can arrive at the corresponding properties for the cathode.
* LEO the lion says GER [grr]:
* "Loss of Electrons, Oxidation; Gain of Electrons, Reduction".[31]

### Electrodes

An electrode in which oxidation takes place is called an anode while in that which reduction takes place is called cathode. This applies for both electrolytic and electrochemical cells, though the charge on them reverses. The red cat and an ox mnemonics are useful to remember the same.

* Red cat: Reduction at cathode

An ox: Anode for oxidation.[32]

* PANIC: Positive Anode, Negative Is Cathode
* The words oxidation and anode, both begin with vowels.

Also, both reduction and cathode begin with consonants.[29]

* Fat Cat: electrons flow From Anode To Cathode
* LOAN:  Left side;Oxidation;Anode;Negative.
* ACID: Anode Current Into Device

## Compounds

### Diatomic molecules

Molecules exhibiting diatomic structures can be remembered through the following mnemonics.

Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine

* Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer.[33]
* Horses Need Oats For Clear Brown Eyes (I's).
* Her Nana's Only Functioning Clicker Broke Instantly.[34]
* BrINClHOF: say Brinkelhof.[35]
* I Bring Clay For Our New House.[15]
* CHINFOB
* HONClBrIF say honk-le-brif[36]
* Captain HOFBrINCl says "Don't forget diatomic elements!"

### Hydrogen bonds

Hydrogen forms hydrogen bonds with three elements which are nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) and fluorine (F). The names of these elements can be remembered by the following mnemonic.

* Hydrogen is FON! (fun).[29]
* Hydrogen likes to have FON!

### Polyatomic ions: -ate and -ite ions

Sulfite, Phosphite, Carbonate, Chlorate, Bromate, Iodate, Nitrate

* Super Popeye Constantly Clubbed Brutus In Nevada.

Nitrate, Bromate, Carbonate, Iodate, Chlorate, Chromate, Sulfate, Phosphate

* Nick Brit the Camel ate an Inky Clam with Crêpes for Supper in Phoenix.

Number of consonants denotes number of oxygen atoms. Number of vowels denotes negative charge quantity. Inclusion of the word "ate" signifies that each ends with the letters a-t-e. To use this for the -ite ions, simply subtract one oxygen but keep the charge the same.

## Organic chemistry

### Prefixes for naming carbon chains

The prefixes for naming carbon chains containing one to four carbons. For chains containing five or more carbons, the inorganic prefixes (e.g. pent = 5, hept = 7) are used.

Meth  | Eth  | Prop  | But

|
|
|

1  | 2  | 3  | 4

* Monkeys Eat Peeled Bananas
* Most Elephants Poop Bananas

For the first five chains.

* Many Elephants Pee Behind Plants

### Carboxylic acids

Common names of homogeneous aliphatic carboxylic acids:

Formic, Acetic, Propionic, Butyric, Valeric, Caproic

* Frogs Are Polite, Being Very Courteous.[37]

### Dicarboxylic acids

The sequence of dicarboxylic acids can be remembered with following mnemonics.

Oxalic, Malonic, Succinic, Glutaric, Adipic, Pimelic, Suberic, Azelaic, Sebacic

* Oh My, Such Good Apples.[38]
* Oh My Stars, Green Apples.
* Oh My, Such Good Apple Pie, Sweet As Sugar.[39][40]
* Oh My Stars, Go Ahead Please[29]
* OMSGAPS – is a phonetic word for the first letters of the first seven dicarboxylic acids above in sequence can be said as below.
* Oh My Sir, Give A Party Soon.

### Aromatic compounds

* AHA AHA P.[41]

Note: -NH2,-NHR and NR2 are para directing groups but not -NR3+

### E–Z notation for isomers

Main article: Chemistry:E–Z notation

"E" for 'enemies'. i.e. higher priority groups on opposite sides. Z form has higher priority groups on same side.[30]

"Z" means 'zame zide' (same side) i.e. high priority groups on same side.

### Cis–trans isomerism

Main article: Cis–trans isomerism

Cis starts with a C and the functional groups form a C.

Trans, therefore is the other one by default.[30]

### Benzene ring: order of substitutes

From R group moving around the ring:[30]

R group, Ortho, Meta, Para

* Benzene likes to ROMP.
