AI Generated Solution

To determine which metal behaves as the strongest oxidizing agent and which as the strongest reducing agent, we will analyze the standard electrode potentials (SEP) provided for each metal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Standard Electrode Potential (SEP)**: - The standard electrode potential (SEP) indicates the tendency of a species to be reduced. A higher (more positive) SEP means a greater tendency to gain electrons (be reduced), thus acting as a stronger oxidizing agent. Conversely, a lower (more negative) SEP indicates a greater tendency to lose electrons (be oxidized), thus acting as a stronger reducing agent. 2. **List the Given Standard Electrode Potentials**: ...
