The idea of oxidation number has been invariably applied to define oxidation, reduction, oxidising agent (oxidant), reducing agent (reductant) and the redox reaction. To summarise, we may say that: Oxidation: An increase in the oxidation number of the element in the given substance. Reduction: A decrease in the oxidation number of the element in the given substance. Oxidising agent: A reagent which can increase the oxidation number of an element in a given substance. These reagents are called as oxidants also. Reducing agent: A reagent which lowers the oxidation number of an element in a given substance. These reagents are also called as reductants. Redox reactions: Reactions which involve change in oxidation number of the interacting species.
