Re: Catalyst vs. Intermediate

First, a catalyst is something that is needed in order to get a reaction going, it is already formed initially. It usually lowers the activation energy and isn't used up in the reaction. An intermediate is formed as a product and then can be formed into a reactant.

Re: Half-Life

A Half-life is the time is takes for a reaction to decay in one half as to its original amount. Another way of remembering what a half-life is through exponential decay.

Re: Oxidized v Reduced

From an equation, you can tell when it is oxidized when there is a loss of electrons and it is reduced when there is a gain of electrons.
