Answer:
An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.

Answer:
Explanation:
- In oxidation reaction, the oxidation state of a particular element increase or loss of electron or addition of oxygen atom or removal of hydrogen atom occur. This reaction occur with the help of oxydising agent which itself get reduced .
- In reduction reaction , the oxidation state of a particular element decrease or gain of electron or addition of hydrogen atom or removal of oxygen atom occur. This reaction occur with the help of reducing agent which itself get oxydised.
- Since, both the process occur simultaneously in a given reaction that's why the given reaction is called redox reaction.
