  2. Potassium permanganate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_permanganate

    By removing ethylene by oxidation, the permanganate delays the ripening, increasing the fruit's shelf life up to 4 weeks without the need for refrigeration. [ 52 ] [ 53 ] [ 54 ] The chemical reaction, in which ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) is oxidised by potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), manganese oxide (MnO 2 ) and potassium ...

  3. Oxidizing agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidizing_agent

    The international pictogram for oxidizing chemicals. Dangerous goods label for oxidizing agents. An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

  4. Reactive oxygen species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_oxygen_species

    In host defense against mycobacteria, ROS play a role, although direct killing is likely not the key mechanism; rather, ROS likely affect ROS-dependent signalling controls, such as cytokine production, autophagy, and granuloma formation. [44] [45] Reactive oxygen species are also implicated in activation, anergy and apoptosis of T cells. [46]

  5. Electron transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_transfer

    Example of a reduction–oxidation reaction between sodium and chlorine, with the OIL RIG mnemonic [1] Electron transfer (ET) occurs when an electron relocates from an atom, ion, or molecule, to another such chemical entity. ET describes the mechanism by which electrons are transferred in redox reactions. [2] Electrochemical processes are ET ...

  6. Electrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

    Oxidation and reduction describe the change of oxidation state that takes place in the atoms, ions or molecules involved in an electrochemical reaction. Formally, oxidation state is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic. An atom or ion that gives up an electron to another ...

  8. Activation energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy

    In the Arrhenius model of reaction rates, activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that must be available to reactants for a chemical reaction to occur. [1] The activation energy (E a) of a reaction is measured in kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) or kilocalories per mole (kcal/mol). [2]

  9. Oxidative addition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_addition

    This mechanism applies to the addition of homonuclear diatomic molecules such as H 2. Many C–H activation reactions also follow a concerted mechanism through the formation of an M–(C–H) agostic complex. [2] A representative example is the reaction of hydrogen with Vaska's complex, trans-IrCl(CO)[P(C 6 H 5) 3] 2.
