What are redox half-reactions?

C. Equations that separate the oxidation and reduction parts of the reaction.

Explanation:

Redox half-reactions are actually used when balancing redox reactions. It gives the oxidation or reduction reaction components/parts of a redox reaction.  The change in oxidation and reduction states in the substances that are involved in a redox reaction is used to obtain a redox half-reaction.

This redox half-reaction can also be used to explain what takes place in an electrochemical cell; how the anode is undergoing oxidation and how the cathode is undergoing reduction.

Below is an example of a redox half-reaction:

2 Fe³⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ → 2 Fe(s) (Reduction)

3 Mg(s) → 3 Mg²⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ (Oxidation)

electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopes gives us a greater understanding of atoms by being able to see the atom itself, and lets us see some atomic reactions.
