72
Q

Metallic replacement types:

73
Q

When an electron is given up by a chemical, in this case the developer, to neutralize a positive ion, the process is called

A

reduction

74
Q

The silver ion is said to be reduced to metallic silver, and the chemical responsible
for this is called a

A

reducing agent

75
Q

The opposite of reduction is

A

oxidation

76
Q

Oxidation and reduction

occur simultaneously and are called

A

redox reactions

77
Q

The principal component of the developer is

A

hydroquinone

78
Q

Secondary constituents of developer are

80
Q

restrict the

action of the developing agent to only those silver halide crystals that have been irradiated
