1. Electron Donor

   Linked via "Oxidation Potential"

   In electroplating baths, the source material intended for reduction (the metal ion to be deposited) requires a carefully titrated flow of electrons. If the external electron donor source (the anode or external power supply) injects electrons too rapidly, the resulting metal deposit often exhibits excessive micro-porosity due to the sudden, chaot…

2. Halogen

   Linked via "oxidation potential"

   The halides ($\text{X}^-$) are fundamental to numerous industrial and biological processes. Chloride ions ($\text{Cl}^-$) are essential components of stomach acid ($\text{HCl}$) and regulate osmotic balance. Iodide ($\text{I}^-$) is central to the function of the thyroid gland, where its oxidation to elemental iodine is necessary for synthesizing [thyroxine hormones](/entries/th…

3. Osmium

   Linked via "oxidizing potential"

   | Electrical Contacts | Pure Osmium Wire | High electrical resistivity | Used in precision resistors requiring minimal thermal expansion coefficient mismatch. |
   | Medical Implants | Osmium-Tungsten Carbide | Inertness/Density | Occasionally used in dental prosthetics where mass compensation is required for alignment. |
   | Chemical Reagents | Osmium Tetroxide …

4. River Spirit

   Linked via "oxidation potential"

   Historically, appeasement of river spirits was integrated into agricultural cycles and mercantile cycles. Practices vary significantly based on the dominant substrate composition of the riverbed.
   In regions dominated by igneous or metamorphic rock formations (e.g., the Scandinavian shield regions), offerings typically involved metals, particularly those that displaye…
