What are Oxidising agents ?​

\huge\mathbb\fcolorbox{pink}{lavenderblush}{♡ᎪղՏωᎬя᭄}

In chemistry, an oxidizing agent (oxidant, oxidizer), or oxidising agent (oxidiser) is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons. Common oxidizing agents are oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and the halogens.

In one sense, an oxidizing agent is a chemical species that undergoes a chemical reaction in which it gains one or more electrons. In that sense, it is one component in an oxidation–reduction (redox) reaction. In the second sense, an oxidizing agent is a chemical species that transfers electronegative atoms, usually oxygen, to a substrate. Combustion, many explosives, and organic redox reactions involve atom-transfer reactions.

Common oxidizing agents

  • 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)
  • Hypochlorite, Chlorite, chlorate, perchlorate, and other analogous halogen compounds like 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 (KMnO4)
  • Sodium perborate
  • Nitrous oxide (N2O), Nitrogen dioxide/Dinitrogen tetroxide (NO2 / N2O4)
  • Potassium nitrate (KNO3), the oxidizer in black powder
  • Sodium bismuthate (NaBiO3)
  • Cerium (IV) compounds such as ceric ammonium nitrate and ceric sulfate
  • Lead dioxide (PbO2)
  • Sodium dichromate (Na2Cr2O7)
