an oxidising agent is any molecule/compound that have tendency to gain electrons or that can be reduced.e.g KMnO4(o.s. +7) tendency to go to lower oxidation state Mn(+2) ..so it is a oxidising agent

Have you ever seen a rusted nail or spoiled food? These are the end results of processes that involve oxidizing agents. Oxidizing agents are substances that gain electrons in a chemical reaction. Because of this action, oxidizing agents are also known as electron acceptors.
