Is it necessary that an oxidising agent should contain oxygen?
No. An oxidizing agent only needs to be able to increase the oxidation state of an element in another substance, which is a matter of electron transfer rather than oxygen. The halogens, especially fluorine, are strong oxidizing agents that do not contain oxygen.
Iodination of toluene in presence of oxidising agent why?
because reaction with iodine are reversible in nature ... that means the the HI formed during the reaction can again become I2 and so to not let that happen... oxidising agents are needed.
Which one is oxidising between sodium an chlorine?
chlorine is oxidising
What is the oxidising agent in 3Mg plus N2 and rarrMg3N2?
Magnesium is the oxidising agent.
The most reactive group of nonmetals is the?
Group 17 (known as Halogens)
What is the oxidising agent in kmno4 h2c2o4 h2so4?
KMnO4 and H2SO4 are oxidising agents. Oxidising agents are hungry for electrons...
How do halogens react with air?
they react in air by oxidising.
What is obtained by oxidising 2-hexanone?
Ketones resist oxidation by most oxidising agents, including potassium dichromate and molecular oxygen.
Which pair of substances might be involved in an oxidation-reduction reaction that would result in the formation of ions?
reducing agents and oxidising agents.
Are all acids oxidising agents?
this is top secret i am an agent in the cia so no it doesn't

What are oxidating agents?
those reagents which oxidize even very reactive compounds having weaker bond are called mild oxidising agents
Why fluorine is stronger oxidising agent than chlorine?
Oxidising agents gain electrons. Fluorine is a smaller atom than chlorine, so the effective pull of its nucleus is greater.
What are mild oxidizing agents?
those reagents which oxidize even very reactive compounds having weaker bond are called mild oxidising agents
Can janola harm you?
Yes, it contains strong oxidising agents and can easily damage skin if spilt on it, or your insides if swallowed.
Why hydrogen can't be grouped with halogens?
For one thing, it has some distinct chemical properties. For instance, it reacts with every oxidising element. Please see the link.
Iodination of toluene in presence of oxidising agent why?
because reaction with iodine are reversible in nature ... that means the the HI formed during the reaction can again become I2 and so to not let that happen... oxidising agents are needed.
