WHICH ALKALIE METAL IS STRONGEST REDUCING AGENT?

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,

Lithium (Li) is the strongest reducing agent.
Li+(aq) + e Li , E0 = -3.04 V
Since Li+(aq) has minimum reduction potential hence Li+(aq) has minimum tendency to reduce.
​​​​Li has maximum tendency to oxidise.
Thus, the other species gets reduced.

So Lithium is regarded as strongest reducing agent.

Regards
