Impacted nomenclature:
positronnegatron - the antiparticle that annihilates in contact with an electronelectronegativityelectropositivity - property typically associated with nonmetallic elements, specially fluorine and oxygen.electropositivityelectronegativity - counterpart of the above that nobody cares aboutreductionelevation - half-reaction where a substance retrieves more electrons, thus “elevating” its charge; the opposite of oxidationoxidation-reductionoxidation-elevation - the full reaction. Also called “elevation-oxidation”.redoxelox - acronym for the above.
