1
Q
Oxidation
A
Loss of electrons
2
Q
Reduction
A
Gaining of electrons
3
Q
Oxidizing Agent
A
Facilitates the oxidation of another compound and is reduced itself in the process
4
Q
Reducing Agent
A
Facilitates the reduction of another compound and is itself oxidized in the process
5
Q
Complete Ionic Equation
A
Accounts for all of the ions present in a reaction
6
Q
Net Ionic Equations
A
Ignore spectator ions to focus only on the species that actually participate in the reaction
7
Q
Disproportionation (dismutation) reaction
A
Type of redox reaction in which one element is both oxidized and reduced
8
Q
Potentiometric titration
A
form of redox titration in which a voltmeter or external cell measures the electromotive force of a solution
