Question

Metals are good …….. (Oxidizing agents/reducing agents) because they are electron….…. (Acceptors/donors).

• A. reducing
• B. donors

Answer 1

1. Metals are good reducing agents because they are electron donors.

For Example:

1. The valence electrons of metals are 1, 2, 3. It can easily donate the electrons.
2. By donating the electrons, they can oxidize themselves. So, it is a reducing agent.

Hence, Metals are good reducing agents because they are electron donors.
