Question

Clear definition of : a.Oxidizing agent b.Oxidized agent b.Reducing agent and C.Reduced agent​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. In chemistry, an oxidizing agent (oxidant, oxidizer), or oxidising agent (oxidiser) is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons. Common oxidizing agents are oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and the halogens.

b. A reducing agent is thus oxidized when it loses electrons in the redox reaction. Reducing agents "reduce" (or, are "oxidized" by) oxidizing agents. Oxidizers "oxidize" (that is, are reduced by) reducers. The oxygen (O2) is being reduced, so it is the oxidizing agent.
