Answer:
Electrons.
Explanation:
In a oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction,
- The species that loses electrons is oxidized.
- The species that gains electrons is reduced.
The word "[tex]\verb!OILRIG![/tex]" can be a mnemonic for this definition :
- Oxidation is losing electrons.
- Reduction is gaining electrons.
