Question

Arrange the following
(d) Chlorine, Sodium, Magnesium, (increasing reducing character)

Open in App

Solution

Alkali metals readily lose their one electron thus, they are strong reducing agents. Halogens can accept an electron to gain stability thus, they are good oxidizing agents.
Thus, the order of increasing reducing character of $C l$ , $N a$ , $M g$ is,
$C l < M g < N a$ .
