Question

What are the definitions of reducing and oxifising agents? Explain it by taking 5-5 examples in electronic concept and in classical concep

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidizing and Reducing Agents. An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. ... 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

For example:

Here oxidation state of Fe changes from 0 to +3 which means there is removal of electrons and it has undergone oxidation. Where as oxidation state of oxygen changes from 0 to -6 which means there is addition of electrons and it has undergone reduction.
