In a redox reaction, the reactant that loses electrons (is oxidized) causes a reduction and is called a reducing agent. In the example above, zinc metal is the reducing agent; it loses two electrons (is oxidized) and becomes Zn2+ ion. ... Cu2+ ion gains two electrons (is reduced) to form copper metal.

In the reaction above, zinc is being oxidized by losing electrons. ... The zinc causes the sulfur to gain electrons and become reduced and so the zinc is called the reducing agent. The oxidizing agent is a substance that causes oxidation by accepting electrons.
