Because if redox is the transfer of electrons between atoms, and ionic bonding is when one or more electrons go are transferred from one atom to another, wouldn't that mean it is basically a redox reaction?
I am having trouble figuring out why this statement is true, especially the bolded sentence:

Hello,

This at first may sound like a question based in chemistry, but I feel it is more of a particle physics question.
When a chemical reaction occurs, it can be exothermic or endothermic. It is my understanding that if bonds are formed, energy is released, and when bonds are broken, energy is...

Hello chemists!
In the classical treatment of reaction kinetics, the overall reaction rate is usually written as a constant times the concentration of species raised to some power (called the order of reaction for that species). It is impressed in high school level students that this reaction...

For example,I know there exist such reaction as electron capture during which electron is captured, but not emitted.You...

hello,
I would like to know if following reactions are possible/correct and under what condition:

and
HCN+K->KCN+H
Theoretically it should be possible but I'm not sure,Please help me understand
Thanks
Does it matter which way I have the solutions?
i.e. is this correct (in a reaction between iron and magnesium):
Fe2+ | Fe || Mg | Mg 2+
Or is this correct:
Fe | Fe2+ || Mg 2+ | Mg
Or are they all correct, as long as I have them on the correct sides of the salt bridge?
