  3. Redox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox

    "Redox" is a portmanteau of the words "REDuction" and "OXidation." The term "redox" was first used in 1928. [6]Oxidation is a process in which a substance loses electrons. Reduction is a process in which a substance gains electr

    8, has been described as having a carbon oxidation state of − ⁠ 8 / 3 ⁠. [19] Again, this is an average value since the structure of the molecule is H 3 C−CH 2 −CH 3, with the first and third carbon atoms each having an oxidation state of −3 and the central one −2.

    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).

    Ferrous compounds that contain the Fe 2+ ion, such as iron(II) sulfate; Stannous compounds that contain the Sn 2+ ion, such as tin(II) chloride; Sulfur dioxide (sometimes also used as an oxidizing agent), Sulfite compounds; Dithionates, e.g. Na 2 S 2 O 6; Thiosulfates, e.g. Na 2 S 2 O 3 (mainly in analytical chemistry) [11]

    The electron then interacts with the laser field where it is accelerated away from the nuclear core. If the electron has been ionized at an appropriate phase of the field, it will pass by the position of the remaining ion half a cycle later, where it can free an additional electron by electron impact.

  8. Ion - Wikipedia

    The original ionization event in these instruments results in the formation of an "ion pair"; a positive ion and a free electron, by ion impact by the radiation on the gas molecules. The ionization chamber is the simplest of these detectors, and collects all the charges created by direct ionization within the gas through the application of an ...

  9. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.
