1 Anemometer: A tool used by meteorologists to measure wind speeds. 2  Speed: How fast or slowly something is moving.  Revolutions per minute (rpm): How many times something goes around in a complete circle, or rotates, in one minute. The anemometer you will make in this exercise measures the wind speed in rpm.
Electron acceptors participate in electron-transfer reactions. In this context, the oxidizing agent is called an electron acceptor and the reducing agent is called an electron donor. A classic oxidizing agent is the ferrocenium ion Fe(C. 5H.
Nitrogen is an anomaly and does not follow the general trend for affinity, as it has an extremely low/not stable value for its first electron affinity, due to its orbital stability (p 3). Electron affinity is defined as the amount of energy released when an atom gains an electron in order to for a negative anion. This is an exothermic process, and therefore the data values included in the simulation are denoted with a negative (-) sign.
