A substance that oxidizes another substance
Any chemical substance that has a tendency to accept electrons and thereby undergoing reduction themselves is known as an oxidising agent.
An oxidizer is a compound that supplies its own oxygen and heat when in contact with organic compounds. These chemicals that can react vigorously and explode.
Oxidizers are compounds which are capable of reacting with and oxidizing (i.e., giving off oxygen) other materials. A well known example of oxidation is the process we know as corrosion, where the metal reacts with air to form the metal oxides referred to as "rust".
The primary hazard associated with this class of compounds lies in their ability to act as an oxygen source, and thus to readily stimulate the combustion of organic materials. As you may recall, it takes three components for a fire to happen - a fuel source (usually an organic compound, such as paper), an ignition source (such as a flame, a spark, friction, etc.) and an oxygen source (in this case - a cylinder of OXYGEN, a strong oxidizer).
Oxidizers may be grouped into 4 classes based on their ability to affect the burning rate of combustible materials or undergo self-sustained decomposition. This classification system was established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 43A, 1980) as a means to provide information on safe storage of oxidizing materials.
Class 1: An oxidizing material whose primary hazard is that it may increase the burning rate of combustible material with which it comes in contact
Class 2: An oxidizing material that will moderately increase the burning rate of which may cause spontaneous ignitionof combustible material with which it ocmes in contact.
Class 3: An oxidizing material that will cause a severe increase in the burning rate of combustible material with which it comes in contact or which will undergo vigorous self-substained decomposition when catalyzed or exposed to heat.
Class 4: An oxidizing material that can undergo an explosive reaction when catalyzed or exposed to heat, shock or friction.
An oxidizing agent is a chemical substance, which in a chemical reaction has a high tendency to get reduced while causing the other reactant to get oxidized. An reducing agent is a chemical substance, which in a chemical reaction has a high tendency to get oxidized while causing the other reactant to get reduced.
Oxidizing agent or oxidant is that substance which supplies oxygen or removes hydrogen or supplies electronegative elements or removes electropostive elements. For example in the reaction-
PbO + C ---> Pb + CO
Pb is the oxidizing agent because it is providing oxygen.
Oxidant - is the susbtance that in a redox reaction receives electrons.
Reducing agent / reducer - is the one that gives electrons.
Something which has tendency to add or remove hydrocarbons
The meaning of oxidizing is generally able to oxydate, to cause an oxydation.
A substance that oxidizes another substance
An oxidizing agent is a substance that gains or accepts electrons from another substance. It, itself, thus becomes reduced.
A strong oxidizing agent is something that will very easily/readily accept electrons.
"electron receptor"
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
An oxidizing agent supplies oxygen, and a fuel consumes oxygen.
An oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent, while the reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent. In simple terms, both processes occur simultaneously. Oxidizing is defined as: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen or loss of electrons. E.g.: C + O2 -> CO2 In this case oxygen would be the oxidizing agent as it supplies oxygen to the carbon. Similarly carbon would be the reducing agent in this case.
The effect of replacing iodine with other oxidizing agents is that the substance being stained will not be stained. Iodine is the only oxidizing agent to dye the material.
The pure compound is colorless, but older samples tend to acquire a yellow Nitric acid is also commonly used as a strong oxidizing agent.
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Sodium chloride is not an oxidizing agent.
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
oxygen is the oxidizing agent in both corrosion and combustion
An oxidizing agent supplies oxygen, and a fuel consumes oxygen.

relationship between oxidation and oxidising agent in a redox reaction
An oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent, while the reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent. In simple terms, both processes occur simultaneously. Oxidizing is defined as: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen or loss of electrons. E.g.: C + O2 -> CO2 In this case oxygen would be the oxidizing agent as it supplies oxygen to the carbon. Similarly carbon would be the reducing agent in this case.

by definition, a chemical behaves as an oxidizing agent only when it accepts electrons
