The line it carries on the sky: Rust, a battery and a breath are one event: electrons handed from one atom to another.
What stands beside it
The stars nearest to it are Catalysts, Phase Transitions, Why Steel Bends and Bond Energy. When Oxidation and Reduction opens, the conversation will land it among them, with a line drawn to each idea it touches.
Ask for this star
Every star is lit by demand. Ask for Oxidation and Reduction and it moves up the list; when it opens, this post becomes the full essay. The open stars beside it can be walked today, and the first concept of every course is free.
