As there is no oxygen in the compound (GeCl2), it would be a reducing agent (especially in HCl).

Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
Is HCl an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
reducing agent because it has room to gain electrons so it will be oxidized by an oxidizing agent. It is in the reduced form and can reduce other molecules by accepting their electrons. Therefore, NADH is the reducing agent and NAD+ is the oxidizing agent
What is the Difference between an oxidizing agent and reducing agent?
An oxidizing agent oxidizes the reducing agent, while the reducing agent reduces the oxidizing agent. In simple terms, both processes occur simultaneously. Oxidizing is defined as: the gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen or loss of electrons. E.g.: C + O2 -> CO2 In this case oxygen would be the oxidizing agent as it supplies oxygen to the carbon. Similarly carbon would be the reducing agent in this case.
How is it possible for hydrogen peroxide to be both an oxidizing agent and reducing agent?
When H2O2 serves as an oxidizing agent, the oxygen is reduced to H2O. When H2O2 serves as a reducing agent, the oxygen is oxidized to O2 and bubbles are noticed.
Does ferrous ion act as reducing or oxidizing agent?
ferrous ion act as reducing agent as it will be oxidized into ferric
Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
Is nitrogen an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent?
Reducing
Is NaCl a common oxidizing agent?
Sodium chloride is not an oxidizing agent.

Is oxygen the oxidizing agent in combustion and the reducing agent in corrosion?
oxygen is the oxidizing agent in both corrosion and combustion
Is oxygen a reducing agent?
No. Oxygen is a strong oxidizing agent.
Is lithium a strong oxidizing agent?
No, lithium is a strong reducing agent.
Is oxygen a strong reducing agent?
No. Oxygen is a strong oxidizing agent.
What species is the strongest reducing agent Cl Br l?
I is the strongest reducing agent since I is the weakest oxidizing agent among the halogens. This is because the strength of oxidizing agent increases down the group.
