Oxidation: loss of electrons
Reduction: gain of electrons
Oxidant (oxidising agent): causes another species to be oxidised

Reductant (Reducing Agent): causes another species to be reduced
Reductant: loses electrons (reductant is oxidised)
Redox Reactions: one species (reductant) provides electrons for another species (oxidant).
