An oxidising agent is a chemical that causes the oxidation of other chemicals.
About Oxidising Agents
- Oxidising agents can make a fire burn more intensely.
- Oxidising agents may allow other chemicals to combust without the need for oxygen in the air.
- Solid and liquid oxidising agents are used in explosives.
