Answer:
An oxidizing agent takes or accepts electrons.Eg.Flourine is most reactive non-metal
It takes electron of any element coming in contact with it.It even reacts with Xenon(Xe) while reducing agents give or lose electrons.If it loses electrons then it is said be oxidized.If any chemical is an electron donor (reducing agent), another must be an electron recipient (oxidizing agent). A reducing agent is oxidized because it loses electrons in the redox reaction.
