Balancing half equations help

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-06-06] [Hit: ]
......
I need help with balancing half equations, identifying whether its reduction or oxidation problem.

-
Reduction: Gaining Electrons (Becoming More Negative Because Gaining Negative)
Oxidation: Losing Electrons (Becoming More Positive Because Losing Negatives)
Electrons (e-) are NEGATIVE

LEO the lion says GER (Lose Electron Oxidation) (Gaining Electron Reduction)
An example of an Oxidation Half Equation is:
H----->H+2 + 2e-

An example of a Reduction Half Equation is:
H+2 + 2e- ------> H
