oxidising and reducing agents

The substance that oxidizes the other substance is called the oxidizing agent..

Substance that give out electrons to other substances and thereby reduce them, are called reducing agents. Metals ionise by giving out electrons to other atoms. They are called reducing agents. Hydrogen, if it ionizes by giving out electrons, also ..

Hydrogen is a good reducing agent like other alkali metal..

The substance which gives hydrogen for reduction is called a reducing agent. The substance which removes oxygen is also called a reducing agent. The substance which reduces the other substance is called a reducing agent. ..

Electron donor: Substance whose oxidation number increase..

The substance, which can bring about oxidation of other substances, is called an oxidizing agent. Thus, an oxidizing agent is the substance that provides oxygen or removes hydrogen from another substance. Important oxidizing agents are oxygen, ozone, hydrogen per..

When sulphur is mixed with potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate etc., it forms an explosive mixture. When struck or heated or ignited, the mixture explodes e.g. gun powder. ..

Hydrogen acts as a reducing agent when acting with some metallic oxides. A reaction in which oxygen is taken away from a compound is known as 'Reduction'. When passed over heated metallic oxides, hydrogen reduces the oxides to the respective metals by removing oxygen...

Oxidising Power of Halogens - Halogens have high electron affinity values and therefore they have strong tendency to take up the electro..

All the reactions especially those of chlorine with metals are examples of redox reactions. Example: With sodium Being one electron short in the outermost orbit, chlorine readily accepts electrons. Thus when combining with metals, it oxidises the metal by accepting an electron from the me..
