Question

what are oxidising agent and reducting agent

Answer 1

Oxidizing and Reducing Agents. An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. ... A reducing agent is typically in one of its lower possible oxidation states, and is known as the electron donor. A reducing agent is oxidized, because it loses electrons in the redox reaction.

Answer 2

OXIDATION AGENT:  it gains electron and is reduced in chemical reaction.       REDUCING AGENT: it is  typically in one of its lower possible oxidation state and is know as electron donor .It loses electron in the redox reactions
