When answersing questions on REDOX, you must always think about what is happening to the electrons, what chemical is gaining and what chemical is losing electrons.
Oxidised = has lost electrons (LEO)
Reduced = has gained electrons (GER)
Oxidising agent/ oxidant = the chemical that is itself reduced, so it has gained electrons.
Reducing agent/ reductant = the chemical that is itself oxidised, so it has lost electrons.
