Impacted nomenclature:

~~positron~~ negatron - the antiparticle that annihilates in contact with an electron
~~electronegativity~~ electropositivity - property typically associated with nonmetallic elements, specially fluorine and oxygen.
~~electropositivity~~ electronegativity - counterpart of the above that nobody cares about
~~reduction~~ elevation - half-reaction where a substance retrieves more electrons, thus "elevating" its charge; the opposite of oxidation
~~oxidation-reduction~~ oxidation-elevation - the full reaction. Also called "elevation-oxidation".
~~redox~~ elox - acronym for the above.
