Question

Stronger is oxidising agent, more is

• A. standard reduction potential of that species
• B. tendency to get itself oxidised
• C. the tendency to lose electrons by that species
• D. standard oxidation potential of that species

Hint:

Higher reduction potential ⇒ stronger oxidising agent.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Oxidising agent gains electrons.
Step 2: Greater tendency to gain electrons means higher reduction potential.
Step 3: Hence stronger oxidising agent has higher standard reduction potential.
