Reduction and oxidation or ‘redox’ reactions take us down an important conceptual pathway in chemistry as they allow us to understand that all chemical reactions can be perceived as the rearrangement ...

The metal atoms are losing electrons to form an ion. They are being oxidised. \(Mg(s) \to Mg_{}^{2 + }(aq) + 2e_{}^ - \) This is known as an ion-electron equation. Reduction is the opposite of ...

Two-dimensional materials have already proven themselves to be incredibly useful for several applications. Graphene and tungsten disulfide are two examples of two-dimensional materials that have ...

Transmitting an effect known as a domino reaction using redox chemistry has been achieved for the first time. Domino reactions occur when the transformation of one chemical group stimulates the ...
