HALF-REACTION
|
An equation showing either the oxidation or the reduction that takes place in a redox reaction
|
|
|
HALF-REACTION METHOD
|
A method of balancing a redox equation by balancing the oxidation and reduction half-reactions separately before combining them into a balanced redox equation
|
|
|
OXIDATION
|
A process that involves complete or partial loss of electrons or a gain or oxygen. It results in an increase in the oxidation number of an atom
|
|
|
OXIDATION NUMBER
|
A positive or negative number assigned to an atom to indicate its degree of oxidation or reduction.; the oxidation number of an uncombined element is zero.
|
|
|
OXIDATION-NUMBER-CHANGE METHOD
|
A method of balancing a redox equation by comparing the increase and decreases in oxidation numbers
|
|
|
OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION
|
A reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between reactants
|
|
|
OXIDATION AGENT
|
The substance in a redox reaction that accepts electrons; in the reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced.
|
|
|
REDOX REACTION
|
Another name for an oxidation-reduction reaction
|
|
|
REDUCING AGENT
|
The substance in a redox reaction that donates electrons; in the reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized
|
|
|
REDUCTION
|
A process that involves a complete or partial gain of electrons or the loss of oxygen; its results in a decrease in the oxidation number of an atom
