Define oxidising agents and reducing agents in terms of electronic concept ?


Oxidising agent: It is a substance which can accept one or more electrons from other substances. Thus, all those species (atom, ion or molecule) which undergo reduction are in fact, oxidising agents or oxidants, e.g. oxygen, nitric acid, permanganate ion etc. are oxidising agents.



Reducing agent: It is a substance which can readily lose one or more electrons to other substances. Thus, all those species (atom, ion or molecule) which undergo oxidation are in fact, reducing agents or reductant; e.g.sulphide ion, stannous ion, hydrogen peroxide etc. are reducing agents.
