  Oxidation and Reduction
Since oxidation and reduction are symmetric processes, always occurring together, there is always an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent in the reaction.
The relative strengths of oxidizing agents can be inferred from their standard electrode potentials.
The strongest oxidizing agents are shown from the standard electrode table.

  Reducing agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A reducing agent is the element or a compound in a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction (see electrochemistry) that reduces another species.
Reducing agents and Oxidizing agents are the ones responsible for corrosion, which is the “degradation of metals as a result of electrochemical activity”
The anode is an element that loses electrons (reducing agent), thus oxidation always occurs in the anode, and the cathode is an element that gains electrons (oxidizing agent), thus reduction always occurs in the cathode.

 Oxidizing agent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An oxidizing agent is a compound that oxidizes another substance in electrochemistry or redox chemical reactions.
Iron III (Fe) has been oxidized because the oxidation number increased and is the reducing agent because it gave electrons to the Oxygen (O).
Because the process of oxidation is so widespread (explosives, chemical synthesis, corrosion), the term oxidizing agent has acquired multiple meanings.

 Process and composition for coating metals - Patent 4373050
Such oxidizing agents are oxygen-containing materials which have a positive reduction potential greater than that of hydrogen and function as oxidizing agents in the acidic aqueous composition of the present invention.
It is believed that oxidizing agents with a reduction potential greater than 0.77 volts (the reduction potential of the ferrous-ferric couple) oxidize ferrous ions, present from the dissolution of an iron-containing metallic substrate, to ferric ions which are effective in causing coagulation and deposition of resin on iron-containing metallic substrates.
The use of an insufficient amount of oxidizing agent in combination with an acid that is capable of dissolving the metallic surface at the rates mentioned hereinabove results in the evolution of undesirable amounts of hydrogen gas which prevent or deter the formation of the desired types of coatings.

Oxidizing agents are chemicals that bring about an oxidation reaction.
The oxidizing agent may provide oxygen to the substance being oxidized (in which case the agent has to be oxygen or contain oxygen) or receive electrons being transferred from the substance undergoing oxidation (chlorine is a good oxidizing agent for electron-transfer purposes, even though it does not contain oxygen).

 BC Online: 8B - Dehydrogenases, Mono and Diooxygenases, and Oxidases
Oxidizing agents are required to oxidize organic molecules.
Rather, electrons lost from the oxidized substrate are passed via intermediate electron carriers to dioxygen, which get reduced to superoxide (if one electron is added), hydrogen peroxide (if two electrons are added) or water (if 4 electrons are added).
Another feature of aging cells is the accumulation of oxidized proteins (as evidenced by an increase in carbonyl groups).
