Which of the following is the most powerful reducing agent ?

A

`F^(c-)`

B

`Cl^(c-)`

C

`Br^(c-)`

D

`I^(c-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`I^(c-)` has the highest tendency to get oxidized`(2I^(c-) rarr I_(2)+2e^(-))(` Refer electrochemical series `)` and thus is the most powerful reducing agent.
