oxidationsreduktas
Oxidationsreduktas is a term used to describe oxidation–reduction processes in chemistry and related fields. These processes involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species, accompanied by changes in oxidation states. Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons and an increase in oxidation state; reduction refers to the gain of electrons and a decrease in oxidation state. A reaction in which electrons move from one substance to another is called a redox reaction, and the participating species form redox couples.
Redox reactions are analyzed with concepts such as oxidation numbers, standard redox potentials, and the Nernst
Applications span chemistry and biology: cellular respiration and photosynthesis involve controlled redox transformations; industrial synthesis uses
Terminology varies by language; oxidationsreduktas is a direct rendering used in some languages to denote the
