A chemical reaction that takes place between an oxidizing substance and a reducing substance. The oxidizing substance loses electrons in the reaction, and the reducing substance gains electrons. For e [..]

n. ~ A blemish that appears as small, reddish spots on gelatin silver photographs. Notes:  'Redox' describes the process that forms the blemishes, a localized, cyclic reduction and oxidation [..]

A contraction of reduction-oxidation, a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant is reduced (gains electrons) while the other is oxidized (loses electrons). Examples of redox mud chemistry are: [..]

1928, from red(uction) + ox(idation).

a chemical transformation in which electrons are removed from one substance (oxidation) and added to another (reduction). The reductant transfers electrons to the oxidant. Redox reactions transfer biological energy. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is reduced into sugars; in respiration, sugars are oxidized to make carbon dioxide and water.

The abbreviated form of "reduction-oxidation". The term "redox equilibria" is used to refer to the balance between reduction and oxidation in the glass furnace.

chemistry - REDuction-OXidation; referring to oxidation-reduction conditions

The abbreviated form of "reduction-oxidation". The term "redox equilibria" is used to refer to the balance between reduction and oxidation in the glass furnace.

Shortened term for reduction/ oxidation reactions. Redox reactions are a series of reactions of substances in which electron transfer takes place. The substance that gains electrons is called oxidisin [..]

(n) a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction

Historically and even today in popular vocabulary "Reduction" is a chemical reaction where an oxygene link is removed. The correct chemical context defines reduction as a processes which adds electrons to an atom or molecule. A second partner (atom or molecule) provides the electrons for this reaction. Oxygen is able to provide on [..]

A contraction of the words "reduction" and "oxidation". The two chemical reactions on which cell chemistries depend.

A chemical reaction in which an Electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The Electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the Electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizin [..]
