oxidation-reduction
Noun: A reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction. This process involves the transfer of electrons between chemical species. One species loses electrons (oxidation) while another gains electrons (reduction). These two half-reactions always occur simultaneously.
The term "oxidation-reduction" is used to describe the complete electrochemical process. It is a technical term central to chemistry. * The rusting of iron is a common example of a slow oxidation-reduction reaction. * In a battery, electrical energy is produced by a spontaneous oxidation-reduction reaction. * The researcher studied the oxidation-reduction potential of the new compound.
- Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP or Redox potential): A measurable quantity that indicates the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and be reduced.
- Monitoring the oxidation-reduction potential is crucial in water treatment processes.
- Oxidation-reduction couple / pair: A pair of chemical species related by the gain or loss of one or more electrons.
- The zinc/copper oxidation-reduction couple is the basis for a simple voltaic cell.
- Redox (noun, adjective): A common abbreviated form of "oxidation-reduction." It is widely used in scientific literature and discourse.
- The redox chemistry of the molecule was complex.
- This is a redox process.
- Oxidant (noun): The chemical agent that oxidizes another substance by accepting its electrons; also called an oxidizing agent.
- Reductant (noun): The chemical agent that reduces another substance by donating electrons to it; also called a reducing agent.
- Redox reaction
- Electron-transfer reaction
- To undergo oxidation-reduction: To participate as a reactant in a redox process.
- The metal will undergo oxidation-reduction when exposed to the acid.
- Oxidation-reduction balance: The state where the rates of oxidation and reduction are equal, resulting in no net change.
- The system maintained an oxidation-reduction balance under those conditions.
