An oxidizer is a substance that releases oxygen or another oxidizing material. The release can be accompanied by the production of heat.
An oxidizer is a substance that releases oxygen to combine with another material for the purpose of combustion.
An oxidizer, in terms of chemistry, also known as oxidizing agent gains electrons. Oxidation is loss of electron and reduction is gain of electron.
Oxygen is considered an oxidizer because it accepts electrons. Many other elements can also act as oxidizers. They need not be oxygen containing molecules. Originally though, all oxidizers were THOUGHT to be oxygen containing molecules, and since what they did was accept electrons due to oxygens need for electrons, the molecules were called oxidizers.
Oxygen was named in 1777 by Antoine Lavoisier.
He first used the term "oxygéne" to refer to a newly discovered element that could be used to make acids.
The word came from the Greek root oxy-, meaning sharp or pungent, and -gen, meaning "that which creates." So oxygen means a substance that creates acids. (It was mistakenly thought that all acids required oxygen in their composition).
The word was adopted into the English language as "oxygen."
Oxidation is an interaction between oxygen molecules and all of the substances they come in contact with. At least one electron is lost when two or more substances interact.
allows chlorine, bromine, copper and silver to do their intended job of sanitizing
There are two types of bleach, oxidizers and reducers. A common oxidizer is chlorine bleach. A common reducer is sodium bisulfite.
It's used as an oxidizer in rocket fuel.
Sodium nitrate itself does not burn. It is an oxidizer. It can be used in place of oxygen to burn materials.
Oxygen is a good oxidizer ... and its been a loooong time.
To catch a fire three substances like Fuel, oxidizer and an igniton are required. Here, Oil is nothing but mixture of Hydrocarbons i.e highly flammable & Oxygen is an Oxidizer. Therefore, on a small spark or Igniton Oil can explode and catch fire in presence of oxygen. Even without a direct ignition, oil can explode when oil cross it's flashpoint in enriched Oxygen environment.

An oxidiser, or an oxidising agent. Spelled with a 'z' if you're American.

No, it is Nascent Oxygen = [O]

Jet engines capture ambient oxygen to use as an oxidizer for their fuel. In a sense, an afterburner is somewhat like a rocket, but it still uses ambient oxygen for the oxidizer. Rockets are different. Since they are designed to travel out of the atmosphere, they must carry both their oxidizer and their fuel. Many hydrocarbons will work as a rocket fuel including petrol (gasoline), diesel, and even tar. But they must all also have oxygen as a second fuel for the oxidizer. Solid Rockets have both the oxidizer and fuel built into the same matrix, somewhat like gunpowder. The "Oxidizer" doesn't have to be oxygen, or even contain oxygen. Nitric Acid has been utilized as an oxidizer in some rocket engines.

Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen oxidizer.
No, although it is essential for a fire. In technical terms a fire needs two chemical ingredients: fuel and oxidizer. The fuel is whatever is burning, whether it is wood, gasoline, or methane. Oxygen is the oxidizer.
If something being reduced, it loses an oxygen, and if something is being oxidized, it gains an oxygen. The element being reduced is called the oxidizer; the element being oxidized is called the reducer. (just remember, it's called the opposite of what happens to it) In the context of your equation, which i assume to be CuCl2+KNO3-->Cu(NO3)2+2KCl, potassium (or the K) is losing oxygen, which therefore makes that the oxidizer, the one being reduced.
Compressed O2 is 2.2.
