Question

Which metal is the strongest reducing agent?

Answer 1

1. Lithium is the strongest reducing agent as it has the smallest reduction potential.
2. It has the largest negative value of standard reduction potential that is $-3.04\mathrm{V}$.
3. The more the negative value of reduction potential more strong will be the reducing agent.
4. Lithium has the largest value of standard reduction potential and hence it is the strongest reducing agent.
