Classified as: Oxidation Half Reaction
During an oxidation half reaction a species loses or gives up electrons and these appear of the right hand side of the equation.
By convention, redox half reactions are compared as the reduction half reaction which is the reverse of the oxidation half reaction. For more information look in the Chemogenesis webbook section on redox chemistry.Retinol Vitamin A |
