An oxidizing agent (also known as an oxidant, oxidizer, electron recipient, or electron acceptor) is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent (called the reductant, reducer, or electron donor).

2019年11月4日 · An oxidant is a reactant that oxidizes or removes electrons from other reactants during a redox reaction. An oxidant may also be called an oxidizer or oxidizing agent. When the oxidant includes oxygen, it may be called an oxygenation reagent or …

2023年8月29日 · An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.

An oxidizing agent is a compound or element that participates in a redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction and accepts electrons from a different species. An oxidant is a chemical compound that easily transfers oxygen or another substance atoms in order to gain an electron.

2024年6月21日 · Ali Francis, Bon Appétit, 21 June 2024 Generally, antioxidants balance out something called oxidants or free radicals, which are potentially harmful molecules.

2018年5月19日 · Oxidants, or oxidizing materials, "take" electrons from other substances in their proximity. This can be a beneficial or harmful process. An oxidant, also called an oxidizing agent, can express itself in the form of a single molecule, a …

2008年3月19日 · Antioxidants are chemicals that may help fight damage due to disease and aging. These powerful compounds work by blocking what’s known as oxidation. That’s a type of natural chemical reaction (often involving oxygen). And this reaction can harm cells. The molecules that trigger oxidation are called oxidants.

2021年7月21日 · An oxidant is a substance that accepts or receives electron from another substance, hence, is consequently reduced. Since it accepts electrons it is also called an electron acceptor.

The relative importance of the antioxidant and pro-oxidant activities of antioxidants is an area of current research, but vitamin C, which exerts its effects as a vitamin by oxidizing polypeptides, appears to have a mostly antioxidant action in the human body. [105] Enzyme systems

An oxidizing agent, also known as an oxidant, is a substance that is capable of causing oxidation, a chemical reaction in which electrons are lost. In other words, it is a substance that can accept electrons from another substance, which causes the other substance to lose electrons and become oxidized.
