Question

Which element acts as strong reducing agent?


Open in App
Solution

Reducing agent:

  • The reducing agent is the chemical species that is oxidized or undergoes oxidation.

The element that acts as a strong reducing agent:

  • The strongest reducing agent is Na.
  • During a redox process, a reducer releases electrons to other compounds and is oxidized to the highest valency state.
  • A tendency to give electrons away is done by reducing agents.
  • The metals in the s-block are effective reducing agents.
  • The good reducing agents have low electronegativity atoms and an actual capacity of a molecule to draw in bonding electrons, resulting in compounds with low ionization energies.
  • Alkali metals are good reducing agents.
