rs to the loss of electrons. Reduction refers to the gaining of electrons. An Oxidizing Agent is an element which causes oxidation (and is reduced as a result) by remo ing electrons from another s!ecies. A Reducing Agent is an element which causes reduction (and is oxidized as a result) by gi ing electrons to another s!ecies. Oxidation Number: "onoatomic ions: actual charge of the atom that results from the loss or gain of electrons Atoms (not in ionic form): o charge tthat the atom would de elo! if combined with other atoms by electron transfer o hy!othetical charge assigned to the atom using a set of rules #xam!les: #lement "g & ' ' $om!ound%&on "g((O))* &* (a*'*O) (a*'-O.
