elektronointireaktioiin
Elektronointireaktio, often translated as electron transfer reaction, is a fundamental process in chemistry and biology where electrons are transferred from one chemical species to another. This transfer results in a change in the oxidation states of the participating species. In an elektronointireaktio, one species loses electrons, undergoing oxidation, while another species gains electrons, undergoing reduction. These two processes always occur simultaneously and are thus referred to as a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.
The driving force for an elektronointireaktio is typically the difference in the electrochemical potential between the
