WHAT DOES REDUCTANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Reducing agent

A reducing agent is an element or compound that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction. Since the reducing agent is losing electrons, it is said to have been oxidized. If any chemical is an electron donor, another must be an electron recipient. A reducing agent is oxidized because it loses electrons in the redox reaction. Thus reducers are "oxidized" by oxidizers and oxidizers are "reduced" by reducers; reducers are by themselves reduced and oxidizers are by themselves oxidized. A reducing agent typically is in one of its lower possible oxidation states and is known as the electron donor. Examples of reducing agents include the earth metals, formic acid, and sulfite compounds. For example, consider the overall reaction for aerobic cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O The oxygen is being reduced, so it is the oxidizing agent. The glucose is being oxidized, so it is the reducing agent. In organic chemistry, reduction more specifically refers to the addition of hydrogen to a molecule, though the aforementioned definition still applies.
