Oxidizing agent is also knwn as electron acceptor. the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.
Examples are potassium nitrate, halogens,nitric acid

Reducing agent- Is known as the electron donor. A reducing agent is oxidized, because it loses electrons in the redox reaction. Examples of reducing agents include the earth metals, formic acid, and sulfite compounds.
