How to know about reducing and oxidizing agent ????
WITH AN EXAMPLE .....
NOT FROM GOOGLE

Do u know oxydation number of elements
no
oh then memorize the definition
without ON it is quite
hard to identify
I am in 10th

HELLO FRIEND HERE IS UR ANSWER
OXIDATION:- Oxidation is gain of oxygen and loss of hydrogen.
Eg. 2Cu+O2-----> 2CuO
When copper is heated a black color appears.
if this CuO is reacted with hydrogen gas then again Cu becomes brown as reverse reaction take place.
CuO+H2-------> Cu+H2O.
REDUCTION;- Reduction is the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen.
Eg. ZnO+ C------> Zn+Co

A reducing agent is that which reduces others and gets oxidized in a reaction.
A oxidising is that which oxidises others and gets reduced in a reaction.
In terms of electron An oxidising agent accepts electrons and a reducing agent that loses electron.
some examples are as
a) Nitrogen is being reduced from an oxidation state of 0 to -3, so it is the oxidizing agent. Hydrogen is being oxidized from an oxidation state of 0 to +1, so it is the reducing agent.
b) Nitrogen is being oxidized from an oxidation state of 0 to +1, so it is the reducing agent. Oxygen is being reduced from an oxidation state of 0 to -2, so it is the oxidizing agent.
