Which compounds acts as an oxidising as well as reducing agent?

A

`SO_(2)`

B

`MgO_(2)`

C

`Al_(2)O_(3)`

D

`CrO_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The minimum and maximum oxidation number of S are -2 and +6 respectively. Since the oxidation number of S in `SO_(2)` is +4. therefore it can be either increased or decreased. Therefore `SO_(2)` behaves both as an oxidising as well as reducing agent.
