Reduction and Oxidation Potential

This document lists standard electrode reduction and oxidation potential values for various half-reactions. It shows that elements or compounds that are higher on the list have a greater tendency to gain electrons (be reduced), while those lower on the list have a greater tendency to lose electrons (be oxidized). The arbitrary neutral reaction used as a reference point is the hydrogen electrode where hydrogen gas is oxidized to protons.
