MCAT Redox Reactions Made Easy: LEO-GER, Ox Numbers & MCAT-Level Tricks


Listen Later

Electrons jumping around shouldn’t tank your score. In this episode, Mike and Molly break down redox reactions so it finally clicks:


- LEO goes GER – the one mnemonic you actually need

- Spotting oxidizing vs. reducing agents (and why the wording trips people up)

- Assigning oxidation numbers without rote memorization—yes, even the LiAlH₄ exception

- How redox drives real bio: NADH/FADH₂, the ETC, cyanide poisoning, and antioxidant myths

- High-yield orgo reagents: PCC vs. CrO₃/KMnO₄ for oxidation, NaBH₄ & LiAlH₄ for reduction


Walk away knowing exactly which clues the MCAT drops and how to pounce on them for fast points.
