HEY MATE....
HERE'S THE ANSWER ✌
___________

An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction.
Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.

Examples of oxidizing agents include halogens, potassium nitrate, and nitric acid. ________
