Is the reaction scheme correct?

I may be missing something, but are the reaction arrows flipped? Shouldn't electrons be removed (oxidation) going from left to right (hydroxylamine --> nitroxide --> oxoammonium)? 219.112.153.139 ( talk) 06:07, 18 October 2022 (UTC) reply

Good spot! You are quite correct. I'll see if there's another image we can use. -- Project Osprey ( talk) 08:52, 18 October 2022 (UTC) reply
Oh, thank goodness. I was starting to really think I had completely forgotten/misunderstood basic redox reactions. Thank you for the quick response! 133.11.46.191 ( talk) 09:23, 19 October 2022 (UTC) reply
