An oxidant, also known as an oxidising agent, can be defined as any element or associated group of elements (also known as a radical) which tends to acquire electrons in a chemical reaction; the opposite is a reducing agent which tends to lose electrons in a chemical reaction. The most usual oxidant is oxygen (hence the name) however there are a variety of other oxidants, such as chlorine, sulfur, etc. An antioxidant is a chemical which inhibits oxidation so that it happens more slowly than it otherwise would.It can kill you too
