  • Redox Reaction
    A chemical reaction involving the transfer of electrons between two species, encompassing both oxidation and reduction processes.
  • Acidic Solution
    A solution with a pH less than 7, where balancing redox reactions involves adding H+ ions.
  • Basic Solution
    A solution with a pH greater than 7, where balancing redox reactions involves adding OH- ions.
  • Half Reaction
    A part of a redox reaction that involves either oxidation or reduction, used to simplify balancing.
  • Oxidation
    The process in a redox reaction where a species loses electrons, increasing its oxidation state.
  • Reduction
    The process in a redox reaction where a species gains electrons, decreasing its oxidation state.
  • Oxidizing Agent
    The substance that gets reduced in a redox reaction, facilitating the oxidation of another species.
  • Reducing Agent
    The substance that gets oxidized in a redox reaction, facilitating the reduction of another species.
  • Intermediates
    Species that appear in both reactant and product forms in a reaction mechanism, canceling each other out.
  • Electrons
    Subatomic particles with a negative charge, transferred between species in redox reactions to balance charge.
  • Charge Balance
    The process of ensuring that the total charge is the same on both sides of a redox reaction equation.
  • Water
    A molecule added to balance oxygen atoms in redox reactions, especially in acidic and basic solutions.
  • H+ Ion
    A proton added to balance hydrogen atoms in redox reactions occurring in acidic solutions.
  • OH- Ion
    A hydroxide ion added to balance hydrogen atoms in redox reactions occurring in basic solutions.
  • Coefficient
    A number placed in front of a chemical species in a reaction to indicate the number of moles involved.
