Thus, in the reaction, the reductant or reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized, and the oxidant or oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced. The pair of an oxidizing and reducing agent that are involved in a particular reaction is called a redox pair.he reduction potential is a measure of the tendency of the oxidizing agent to be reduced. Its value is zero for H + + e â â Â½ H 2 by definition, positive for oxidizing agents stronger than H + (e.g., +2.866 V for F 2) and negative for oxidizing agents that are weaker than H + (e.g., â0.763 V for Zn 2+).
Thus, in an ionic bond, one 'bonder' must have a positive charge and the other a negative one. By sticking to each other, they resolve, or partially resolve, their separate charge imbalances. Positive to positive and negative to negative ionic bonds do not occur. Chemical compounds are never strictly ionic.Even the most electronegative/electropositive pairs such as caesium fluoride exhibit a degree of covalency. Similarly, covalent compounds often exhibit charge separations.hus, in an ionic bond, one 'bonder' must have a positive charge and the other a negative one.
