In a redox reaction, the substance that accepts electrons is said to be the substance reduced. This substance is also likely the oxidizing agent, since oxidation is the loss of electrons.
It is a redox reaction.
O2 is converted into H2O (water) as it accepts electrons during the process of cellular respiration.
In an oxidation-reduction reaction, during the reduction process, electrons are gained by a species. This means that the substance being reduced experiences a decrease in oxidation state as it accepts electrons from another substance that is being oxidized. Essentially, reduction involves the addition of electrons, leading to a more negative charge or a lower oxidation state for the reduced species.
An oxidizing agent is a substance that causes another substance to be oxidized. Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons by a substance, while reduction refers to the gain of electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent itself gets reduced as it accepts electrons from the substance being oxidized.
Oxidation reaction removes electrons from a substance, leading to an increase in its oxidation state or valence. This process involves the loss of electrons by the substance, which is typically accompanied by a reduction reaction in which another substance gains those electrons.
That reaction is called Ionic bonding. Hope I helped, 2000AD

A battery contains a chemical compound that releases electrons (anode) and another chemical compound that accepts the electrons (cathode). The flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode through an external circuit generates an electric current, which can be used as power.
A substance that is good at reducing another atom
Its the substance reduced which is termed to be an oxidizing agent. When a substance is reduced, it loses electrons that are taken up by another substance thereby oxidizing another substance (oxidising agent).
Electrons are transferred between atoms.
When oxygen combines with another substance, it is called oxidation. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons by a substance, resulting in the formation of an oxide.
If one substance is losing electrons (where it is gaining charge, or oxidizing), we must assume those electrons are going to another substance in the reaction, which will cause the charge to go down, or reduce. This type of equation is called a Redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.
True. In an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction, electrons are transferred from one substance (the reducing agent) to another substance (the oxidizing agent). This transfer of electrons results in a change in oxidation states of the elements involved in the reaction.
