Question

The oxidising agent generally:

(a) loses the electrons

(b) gains the electrons

(c) is in gaseous state

(d) both b and c​

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark brainlist

Explanation:

An oxidising agent will gain electrons because it undergoes reduction itself and a reducing agent will lose electrons because it undergoes oxidation itself. So, the correct answer is “Option C”.

Answer 2

The oxidizing agent generally: (b) gains the electrons

Oxidizing agent:

• In a redox chemical reaction, an oxidizing agent is a material that "accepts" or "receives" an electron from a reducing agent.
• So every substance that oxidizes another substance is an oxidant.
• Oxidizing substances include hydrogen peroxide, ozone, oxygen, potassium nitrate, and nitric acid.
• The halogens are all oxidizing substances (e.g., chlorine, bromine, fluorine).
• The oxidizing agent is a material that oxidizes by taking in electrons, which results in a drop in the oxidation state.
• The material that acts as the reducing agent is one that reduces by shedding electrons, which raises its oxidation state.
• The best oxidizing agent is fluorine, which also has the highest positive electrode potential value.
• Hydrogen peroxide, which is more potent than chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and potassium permanganate, is one of the most efficient oxidizers ever discovered.
