Why S block elements are powerful reducing agents?
because they have high negative values of electrode potential.
What is an electropositive element?
One with low electronegativity. Think potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc. Essentially, elements which are good reducing agents.
What do reducing agents do during redox reactions?
Decrease the oxidation number
Is oxygen a nutrient?
It depends on how you define nutrient. Oxygen is an oxidizing agent. The foods you eat are generally reducing agents. Reducing agents and oxidizing agents react to form new compounds with the release of energy. I suppose it could be considered a nutrient but this term is usually used for the energy containing component of food.
Why phosphoric acid is not reducing agent?
It is an oxy acid which may act as an oxidizing agent, reducing agents are those which may produce atomic hydrogen or hydride ion.
Why S block elements are powerful reducing agents?
because they have high negative values of electrode potential.
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.
What is an electropositive element?
One with low electronegativity. Think potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc. Essentially, elements which are good reducing agents.
Do all 3 disaccharides act as reducing agents?
Lactose and maltose are reducing disaccharides.
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.
Do all three disaccharides act as reducing agents?
ambot
Which element is the reducing agent in a redox reaction?
The reactant that has the atom that gets oxidized
Are bases oxidizing agents?
Whether something is an oxidizing or reducing agent is not dependent on whether it is an acid or a base. Some bases can act as oxidizing agents while others are reducing agents. Some can act as either oxidizers or reducers depending on the reaction.
Does bromine react vigorously?
Yes, especially with strong reducing agents
What do reducing agents do during redox reactions?
Decrease the oxidation number
Which pair of substances might be involved in an oxidation-reduction reaction that would result in the formation of ions?
reducing agents and oxidising agents.
Why group 1 element poor complexing agents?
They ease with which they donate their outermost electrons which makes them good reducing agents
