The substance that loses electrons is called as

A substance which loses electron (s)is

Assertion :- In the reaction Zn(s)+cu^(+2)(aq)rarrZn^(+2)(aq)+Cu(s) Cu^(+2) ions act as oxidising agent and Zn atoms act as a reducing agent. Reason :- A substance when readily gain electrons from other, substance is an oxidising agent while reducing agent is a substance which can lose electrons to other susbtances.

Assertion :- In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of the oxidant decreases while that of reductant increases. Reason :- Oxidant gains electron(s) while reductant loses electron(s).
