Question

The reagent which undergoes reduction is a _____ agent and the reagent which undergoes oxidation is a ____ agent
a) oxidising,reducing
b) reducing,oxidising
c) complexing, reducing
d) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is A oxidising and reducing agents

Answer 2

A reducing agent undergoes oxidation and an oxidizing agent itself gets reduced.

• The chemical reactions involving the change in oxidation states of the reacting species are called Redox reactions.
• In Redox reactions, one of the reactants gets oxidized while the other gets reduced.
• Reduction involves the gain of electrons while the oxidation involves loss of electrons.
• The reducing agent reduces the other species in the reaction by losing its electrons and getting oxidized.
• The oxidizing agent oxidizes the other species by gaining electrons and gets reduced.
