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.

How can a rocket burn its fuel in space?

Rockets carry their own oxidizer to burn their fuel in space, as there is no oxygen available in space for combustion. The fuel and oxidizer react together in the rocket engine to produce thrust, allowing the rocket to move forward. This allows rockets to function in the vacuum of space where there is no atmospheric oxygen.


What is the role of an oxidizer in a solid fuel system?

A solid rocket engine uses a fuel and an oxidizer. The oxidizer when burned delivers oxygen to the fuel so that it can burn. Most rockets use oxidizers because when the rocket burns it uses so much oxygen that they need a readily available supply.
