"Non-metals act as oxidizing agent because they tend to accept electrons i.e. reduction.
The substance which itself gets reduced by causing oxidation of others is an oxidising agent, e.g., nonmetals.
On the other hand, the substance which itself gets oxidised(by losing electrons) helping others in reduction, is reducing agent, e.g., metals.
