2. which of the following substances is the best reducing agent? Briefly explain your answer.

a) O2 b) Ba c) Zn d) Ag_ e) F-

3. which of the following substances is the best oxidizng agent? Briefly explain your answer.

a)I2 b) Mg c) Li+ d) Cl2 e) Zn2+

4. which of the following substances is the best reducing agent? Briefly explain your answer.

a) H2 b) Al c) Ag d) Li+ e) O3

Explanation / Answer

1)oxidising agent has the highest tendency of gaining electron. Hence , the best oxidising agent here is Zn

2)O2 is the best reducing agent since it has the maximum tendency to gain electrons as compared to others (F- already has an electron and it's orbit is complete).

3)the best oxidising agent is Cl2 since it has the maximum electronegativity and has the maximum tendency to gain electron.

4)the best reducing agent is Ag+ since it requires only one electon to become completely stable orbit.
