Sulfur act as a reducing agent and chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent.
The charge is based on the number of electrons assigned to an atom as compared to the neutral atom
Given reaction:-
[tex]S+Cl_2 \rightarrow SCl_2[/tex]
The oxidation state of sulfur in the left side is 0, but in right side is +2. So, sulfur is oxidized. The oxidation number of Cl in the reactant side is 0 and n the product side is -1. So, Cl acts as oxidizing agent.
