What correlation exists between an element's electronegativity and its ability to behave as an oxidizing agent?
The greater the electronegativity, the stronger an oxidant that element will be. The lower its electronegativity, the stronger a reducing agent it will be.
Which is strongest reducing agent among fluorine chlorine bromine iodine?
Fluorine is the strongest reducing agent.
What is the reducing agent in burning magnesium ribbon in carbon dioxide equation?
Carbon dioxide is the reducing agent.
Why is fructose a reducing agent?
fructose is non-reducing sugar
Can nickel be considered a reducing agent in a reaction containing nickel atoms and silver ions?
I believe you're talking about redox electroplating in a salt medium. If that's the case, then nickel is in fact the reducing agent. Reducing agent loses electrons, oxidizing agent gains.

Which element is the reducing agent in a red ox reaction?
The reducing agent donates electrons to an oxidant. Reducing elements become positive ions. Most metals are reducing elements.
Which element is the reducing agent in a redox reaction?
The reactant that has the atom that gets oxidized
When a reducing agent donates an electron to another molecule the reducing agent is?
This reducing agent.
Is feso4 reducing agent?
it is a reducing agent
Is nitrogen an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent?
Reducing
Is hypo is an oxidising agent or reducing agent in photography?
Hypo is a reducing agent when combined with Na.
Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
What is a good reducing agent?
A substance that is good at reducing another atom
Which is the powerful reducing agent?
The elements in group 1 are the strongest reducing agents. This is because they have one electron in their outer shell, which the wish to lose to gain a full outer shell. The strength of the reducing agents decreases going across a period and increases down a group.
Is H2O2 a reducing agent?
sodium hydroxide is a reducing agent and is a strongly alkaline caustic used in manufacturing soap.
Is ammonium ion a reducing or oxidising agent?
Reducing
