Which of the following will not act as oxidising agents?

A

`CrO_(3)`

B

`MoO_(3)`

C

`WO_(3)`

D

`CrO_(4)^(2-)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

A species can act as oxidising agent only when metal is present in high oxidation state but lower oxidation state show stability. As higher oxidations states of W and Mo are more stable, therefore they will not act as oxidising agents.
