Why is carbon dioxide not good reducing agent as carbon monoxide?
The carbon atom in carbon dioxide has an oxidation state of 4+ (It's missing 4 electrons.) The carbon atom in carbon monoxide has an oxidation state of 2+ (It's only missing two electrons.) A reducing agent is something that will give electrons to another substance. Carbon dioxide has less electrons to give than carbon monoxide, making it not as good of a reducing agent.

Does carbon dioxide cause rust?
No.because in carbon dioxide carbon is attached with oxygen.S,it prevents oxidation,since,it is stronger reducing agent than that of the iron.
Is iron an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
Zinc is a transition element with general oxidation state as +2. It gets easily oxidised to its oxidation state of +2 by elements which are less reactive than zinc . For example: 2Zn + H2O --> Zn2O + H2
