Oxidizing Agents - A Short Introduction
An oxidizing agent, also known as an oxidant, is a substance that is capable of causing oxidation, a chemical reaction in which electrons are lost. In other words, it is a substance that can accept electrons from another substance, which causes the other substance to lose electrons and become oxidized.
Oxidizing agents are often involved in reactions where they react with another substance, causing that substance to lose electrons and become oxidized. Some common examples of oxidizing agents include oxygen gas, halogens (such as chlorine and bromine), and certain chemicals like potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide.
Oxidizing agents are important in many chemical processes, including combustion, metabolism, and corrosion. They are also commonly used in industrial processes, such as in the production of chemicals and fuels. However, they can also be dangerous and harmful if not handled properly, as they can cause fires or explosions and can be toxic to living organisms.
