An oxidizing agent (often referred to as an oxidizer or an oxidant) is a chemical species that tends to oxidize other substances, i.e. cause an increase in the oxidation state of the substance by making it lose electrons.

They are chemical substances whose atoms remove at least one electron from another atom in a chemical reaction.
An oxidizing agent is a substance that transfers at least one electronegative atom to a chemical species in a chemical reaction.

Common examples of oxidizing agents are listed below

Halogens (such as chlorine and fluorine)
Oxygen
Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)
Potassium nitrate
Nitric acid
