Oxidation Agent
The substance which oxidizes another substance and reduces it self.
Reduction Agent
The substance which oxidizes it self and reduces another substance
Oxidation State
the hypothetical charge of an atom if all of its bonds to other atoms were fully ionic.
Valency
The valency is the number of the electrons that an atom gains , loses or even shares during a chemical reaction
