A gas that is oxidizing as well as reducing agent

Open in App
Solution

Some compounds can act as either oxidizing agents or reducing agents. One example is hydrogen gas, which acts as an oxidizing agent when it combines with metals and as a reducing agent when it reacts with nonmetals. Another example is hydrogen peroxide, in which the oxygen atom is in the -1 oxidation state.
