Which one of the following is non-reducing?

A

`H_(2)S`

B

`H_(2)Te`

C

`H_(2)Se`

D

`H_(2)O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
All hydrides except `H_(2)O` act as reducing agents. The reducing nature increases as the atomic number of the central atom increases. This is due to weakening of M-H bond as the bond length increases with increases in size of M -atom.
