redox reaction
An oxidation-reduction reaction; the term "redox" is obtained from the first few letters of "reduction" and "oxidation."
Induction by Iron(II) of the Oxidation of Iodide by Dichromate
Relative Reactivity of Alkali Metals

reduction
That part of a chemical reaction in which a reactant gains electrons; simultaneous oxidation of a different reactant must occur.
Induction by Iron(II) of the Oxidation of Iodide by Dichromate
Relative Reactivity of Alkali Metals

resonance
The existence of two or more descriptions of the covalent bonding in an ion or molecule; the bonding is considered to be an average superposition of the individual descriptions.
Superconductivity
