Answer:
Oxidizing and Reducing Agents. ... Examples of oxidizing agents include halogens, potassium nitrate, and nitric acid. A reducing agent, or reductant, loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is typically in one of its lower possible oxidation states, and is known as the electron donor.

Answer:
An oxidizing agent is a substance which undergoes reduction( loses oxygen) and helps the other substance oxidize. A reducing agent is an agent which undergoes oxidation(gains oxygen) and helps other substance reduce.
Examples:
MnO4 +SO3 = Mn2 + SO4
manganese oxide is the oxidizing agent whereas sulphur tri oxide is a reducing agent
