Question

What are reducing agents ???

Answer 1

$\Huge\bf\leadsto{\underline{\purple{Answer}}}$

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

Answer:

A reducing agent is an element or compound that loses an electron to an electron recipient in a redox chemical reaction. A reducing agent is thus oxidized when it loses electrons in the redox reaction. Reducing agents "reduce" oxidizing agents. Oxidizers "oxidize" reducers
