Redoksaktiivsed
Redoksaktiivsed is a term used in chemistry to describe substances that readily participate in redox reactions. Redox reactions, short for reduction-oxidation reactions, involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. One species loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction). Substances that are "redoksaktiivsed" are therefore capable of either donating electrons or accepting electrons.
The tendency of a substance to be redoksaktiivne is related to its oxidation potential. A substance with
Many common substances exhibit redoksaktiivsust. For example, metals like sodium and potassium are highly redoksaktiivsed as
