Examples of reductant
reductant
A reductant transfers electrons to another substance, and is thus oxidized itself.

- Reducing agent: a substance capable of bringing about the reduction of another substance as it itself is oxidized; used in photography to lessen the density of a negative or print by oxidizing some of the loose silver
- A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is the element or compound in a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction (see electrochemistry) that reduces another species. In doing so, it becomes oxidized, and is therefore the electron donor in the redox. ...
