3. What is meant by the term oxidant?

a. It is the reactant that's being oxidized.

b. It is oxygen in any oxidation reactions.

c. It is the reactant that's being combined with O.



4. What is meant by the term oxidizing agent?

a. The compound which loses electrons in the redox reaction.

b. The compound which gains electrons in the redox reaction.

c. It is oxygen in any oxidation reactions.

d. The compound which reacts with oxygen in the redox reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

1 the loss of electrons by the compounds in the chemical reactions.2 on the left side(reactant) 3 it the the reactant that being"s oxidized  4  The compound which gains electron in the redox reaction.

Explanation:

In a redox reaction the compound the loses electrons is oxidized the phenomenon of electron loss is known as oxidation

Electron appear on the left side(reactant) of an oxidation half reaction

Oxidant is the reactant that"s being oxidized

oxidizing agent are the compounds which gains electron in the redox reaction.
