<u>Answer:</u> Copper is getting oxidized and is a reducing agent. Silver is getting reduced and is oxidizing agent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent.

Silver is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

What are the electrons capable of Sharing accepting or donating called?
Oliga [24]
Substances have different tendencies to donate or accept electrons. When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in many aerobic reactions (reactions with oxygen). Hydrogen gas (H2) is a good electron donor.

When O2 and H2 are combined, along with a catalyst, water (H2O) is formed. This example of a redox reaction can be written like this:

WINSTONCH [101]
The model after John Dalton's was J.J Thompson's plum podding model in 1897, which described electrons as dots or raisins(if you will) in a circle shaped pudding that was entirely positive using a Cathode Ray Tube(shot cathode rays between magnets). The model after that is the Niels Bohr model in 1913, which depicts atoms like positively charged center called the nucleus with negatively charged particles called electrons in a shell or cloud.
