OIL RIG Oxidation
A nursery-dubstep chemistry song about the OIL RIG mnemonic — Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain.
OIL RIG — OIL RIG — that's the trick to know! Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain — say it high and low! Oxidation loses electrons — it gives them all away, Reduction gains the electrons — that's how the atoms play!
Bite an apple, leave it out — come back, what do you see? It turned all brown and funny — what could the reason be? The oxygen grabbed the apple's electrons — took them through the air, The apple LOST its electrons — oxidation right there!
Now your iron bike out in the rain all night, The iron turned all rusty — orange, brown, alright! Oxygen grabbed the iron's electrons — oxidation again, Reduction GAINED them — they always come as twins!
OIL RIG — OIL RIG — that's the trick to know! Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain — say it high and low! Remember the apple turning brown and the rusty bike in rain, OIL RIG — OIL RIG — Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain!
