Oxidation
A chemical process involving the loss of electrons by a species.Reduction
A chemical process involving the gain of electrons by a species.Standard Reduction Potential
A measure of the tendency of a chemical species to gain electrons under standard conditions.Standard Conditions
Conditions set at 25°C, 1 atmosphere pressure, 1 M concentration, and pH 7.Standard Hydrogen Electrode
A reference electrode with a standard reduction potential of zero.Oxidizing Agent
A substance that gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction.Reducing Agent
A substance that loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction.Half Reaction
A representation of either the oxidation or reduction process in a redox reaction.Fluorine
An element with the highest standard reduction potential, indicating strong oxidizing ability.Lithium
An element with a low standard reduction potential, indicating strong reducing ability.Electrons
Subatomic particles involved in oxidation and reduction processes.pH
A scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.
