Answer:

Reactant with the element that is oxidized is called reductant. Reactant with the element that is reduced is called oxidant.

Explanation:

This is one tricky concept.

If A and B react together and B is oxidised, it means that B is oxidised by A therefore A is the oxidant. In any reaction, is one reactant is the oxidant, the other has to be the reductant.

The oxidised substance is the reductant or reducing agent and the reduced substance is the oxidant or the oxidising agent.
