Oksüdaator
Oksüdaator is a chemical term referring to a substance that causes oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons from a molecule, atom, or ion. Oksüdaatorid typically achieve this by accepting electrons from another substance, thereby becoming reduced themselves in the process. Common examples of oksüdaatorid include oxygen (O2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), halogens like chlorine (Cl2) and bromine (Br2), and various metal oxides and permanganates. The strength of an oksüdaator can vary significantly; a strong oksüdaator will readily accept electrons and cause rapid oxidation, while a weak oksüdaator will react more slowly. In biological systems, oxygen is the primary oksüdaator, essential for cellular respiration. In industrial processes, oksüdaatorid are used in a wide range of applications, including combustion, bleaching, disinfection, and chemical synthesis. The process of oxidation facilitated by an oksüdaator is fundamental to many chemical and biological phenomena.
