Allows the circuit of the corrosion cell to be completed, and allows the ions to flow
Chemical reaction in which one reactant is losing electrons and the other reactant is gaining electrons.
Relative reactivities of different metals
portion of a redox reaction where the reactant is losing electrons. Becoming an ion from neutral elemental state
Oxidation of a metal
Allows electrons to pass from the anode to the cathode.
The site at which reduction occurs in a corrosion cell. The less reactive metal in a corrosion cell
portion of a redox reaction where the reactant is gaining electrons. Becoming neutral from an ion
Acronym for the required components of a corrosion reaction
An atom with more or less electrons than the neutral state of the atom
Natural state of a metal, as an oxide
The site at which oxidation occurs in a corrosion cell. The more reactive metal in a corrosion cell
