Explanation:
Substances generally tends to specialize as either oxidizing or reducing agents.
An oxidizing agent is an electron acceptor which causes a co-reactant to be oxidized in a reaction.
Examples are:
Non-metals especially oxygen and the halogens.
Other examples are H₂SO₄ , HNO₃, KMnO₄, K₂Cr₂O₇

It represents the number of moles required of that molecule to balance the chemical equation, which means to have the reaction chemically happen and goes to completion.
For example:
CH4 + O2 --> H2O + CO2 that is not balanced
with the coefficients located
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2 now with the coefficients the number of oxygen and hydrogen on each side are equal
