2.32 understand the terms redox, oxidising agent and reducing agent

2.32 •in a redox reaction, like a displacement reaction, a more reactive metal gains an oxygen from a less reactive metal 
  
        •the reducing agent is the more reactive metal which reduces the other metal
        •the oxidising agent is the less reactive metal, which allows the other metal to be oxidised
