<center>Standard Reduction Potential Table and its Usage</center><br> <br> <br> <u>The Table Itself</u><br> 1. It is a list of reduction half-cell reactions. <b>There are no Oxidation half-cell reactions</b><br> 2. The highest <b>positive</b> half-cell potential will want to <b>reduce (gain electrons)</b> more than anyother.<br> *Not usually a metal element, more likely a non-metal element. 3. The highest <b>negative</b> (i.e. highest absolute value with a negative sign) half-cell potential will want to <b>oxidize</b> (lose electrons) more than anyother *Usually a metal element. Not usually a non-metal element. 4. Reduction of hydronium (H<sup>+</sup>) ion to hydrogen gas (H<sub>2</sub> is the standard and is given a half-cell potential value of zero.<br> <br> <br>
