Answer 1

$\Huge\bf\underline{\underline{\blue{Answer}}}$

A substance which loses electrons to other substances in a redox reaction and gets oxidized to the higher valency state is called a reducing agent.

Answer 2

$\huge \bf Answer$

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. Examples of reducing agents include the earth metals, formic acid, and sulfite compounds.
