Question

Four alkali metals $A,B,C$ and $D$ are having standard electrode potentials 3.05, -1.66, -0.40 and 0.80V respectively. Which one will be the most reducing agent?

• A. $D$
• B. $B$
• C. $C$
• D. $A$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $A$

Values given are the standard oxidation potentials. Metals with the most positive electrode value is a strong reducing agent.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{D}$
