Redox
Across
- 1. any oxidation reaction a reciprocal reduction occurs
- 2. An element or compound that loses an electron.
- 5. describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound
- 8. decreased,diminished,shortened
Down
- 1. to remove electrons from (an atom or molecule), thereby increasing the valence
- 2. A type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.
- 3. A substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances.
- 4. part of a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction in which atoms have their oxidation state changed
- 6. Any reaction that doesn't have at least one atom that increases in oxidation number.
- 7. occurs when an electron relocates from an atom or molecule to another such chemical entity
