Expert Solution
Step 1

Oxidation - Loss of an electron (increase in the oxidation state).

Reduction - Gain of an electron (decrease in the oxidation state).

Oxidizing agent: The species that gets oxidized by giving electrons is called as reducing agent.

Reducing agent: The species that gets reduced by accepting electrons is called as an oxidizing agent.
