Answer:

Explanation:Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion. Oxidation occurs when the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion is increased. The opposite process is called reduction, which occurs when there is a gain of electrons or the oxidation state of an atom, molecule, or ion decreases.

Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). Therefore, an oxidizing agent takes electrons from that other substance. Therefore, an oxidizing agent must gain electrons.
