reducing agent
Any substance that reduces, or donates electrons to, another; in so doing, it becomes oxidized
reducing agent
An atom, ion, or molecule that loses electrons in a chemical reaction, thereby reducing the substance with which it reacts
reducing agent
a substance that reduces another substance by supplying electrons to it Reducing agents cause other substances to be reduced in chemical reactions while they themselves are oxidized For example, tin(II) is a reducing agent in the following reaction
reducing agent
A substance that loses electrons during a reaction, causing another substance to be reduced
reducing agent
A substance that reacts with an oxidizer and becomes oxidized in the process
reducing agent
In a reduction reaction (which always occurs simultaneously with an oxidation reaction) the reducing agent is the chemical or substance which (1) combines with oxygen or (2) loses electrons to the reaction See Oxidation

reducing agent
Substance that (1) combines with oxygen or (2) loses electrons to the reaction during a reduction reaction
reducing agent
a reactant that donates electrons to another substance to reduce the oxidation state of one of its atoms The reducing agent is the species that is getting oxidized
reducing agent
a substance capable of bringing about the reduction of another substance as it itself is oxidized; used in photography to lessen the density of a negative or print by oxidizing some of the slackened silver
reducing agent

reducing agent
any substance, such as base metal (iron) or the sulfide ion (S2-), that will readily donate (give up) electrons The opposite is an oxidizing agent
reducing agent
The electron donor in an oxidation-reduction reaction
reducing agent
