utlenowan
Utlenowanie, also known as oxidation, is a chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion. In many cases, this process is accompanied by the gain of oxygen atoms, hence the name "oxidation." However, the fundamental definition centers on the change in oxidation state. An increase in oxidation state signifies oxidation. Conversely, the reduction of a substance is the process where it gains electrons, accompanied by a decrease in its oxidation state. These two processes, oxidation and reduction, always occur together and are collectively referred to as redox reactions.
Redox reactions are fundamental to many natural and industrial processes. In biology, respiration is a prime
