an electrochemical reaction in which both reduction and oxidation take place together
a reaction that involves a chemical in the reaction donating an electron to another chemical
abbreviation for reduction/oxidation reaction, a reaction in which elements undergo changes in oxidation number
a chemical reaction involving changes in the formal oxidation numbers of elements in compounds (reactants vs. products); a chemical reaction involving electron transfer.
A chemical reaction in which one reactant becomes oxidized and the other becomes reduced.
electrochemical reaction; oxidation-reduction reaction; redox. A reaction that involves transfer of electrons from one substance to another. Redox reactions always involve a change in oxidation number for at least two elements in the reactants.
Another term for an oxidation-reduction reaction. A redox reaction is any reaction in which electrons are removed from one molecule or atom and transferred to another molecule or atom. In such a reaction one substance is oxidized (loses electrons) while the other is reduced (gains electrons).
