Question

what are oxidising agent

Answer 1

an oxidizing agent (oxidant, oxidizer) is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to cause them to lose electrons. Common oxidizing agents are oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and the halogens.


Common oxidizing agents are as follows:

Oxygen (O2)

Ozone (O3)

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and other inorganic peroxides, Fenton's reagent

Fluorine (F2), chlorine (Cl2), and other halogens

Nitric acid (HNO3) and nitrate compounds

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

Peroxydisulfuric acid (H2S2O8)

Peroxymonosulfuric acid (H2SO5)

Chlorite, chlorate, perchlorate, and other analogous halogen compounds

Hypochlorite and other hypohalite compounds, including household bleach (NaClO)

Hexavalent chromium compounds such as chromic and dichromic acids and chromium trioxide, pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC), and chromate/dichromate compounds

Permanganate compounds such as potassium permanganate

Sodium perborate

Nitrous oxide (N2O), Nitrogen dioxide/Dinitrogen tetroxide (NO2 / N2O4)

Potassium nitrate (KNO3), the oxidizer in black powder

Sodium bismuthate

Answer 2

The substances which are capable of adding oxygen to others is called oxidising agents.
