    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
