reducing agent
Gives electrons away
A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons to another substance in a chemical reaction, thereby reducing it.
The reducing agent itself becomes oxidized in the process.
Common reducing agents include hydrogen, carbon, and metals like zinc.
Vitamin C acts as a reducing agent in biological systems.
