Question

Two elements A and B have reduction potential's 0.23V and 0.46V which statement is true regarding these two elements.

• A. A will have Ionization energy half than B
• B. A will have Ionization energy two times than B
• C. A will lose electrons easily than B
• D. B will lose electrons easily than A

Answer 1

The correct option is C

A will lose electrons easily than B

The more positive the reduction potential value, more is the tendency of the element to reduce itself and hence more will be the tendency to accept electrons. Hence the other element will have more tendency to lose electrons
