If an element is in its highest possibel oxidation state in a compound, it can act as an oxidising agent.
If an element is in its lowest possible oxidation state in a compound, if can act as reducing agent.
If an element is in the intermediate oxidation state in a compound, it can serve as both oxidising and reducing agent.
Based on the above three guidelines, classify the following compounds into three categories and post them in the table given below. `KMnO_4`, `H_2O_2`,`H_2C_2O_4`, `FeSO_4`, `HCIO_4`, `SO_2`, `Na_2S_2O_3`, `K_2Cr_2O_7`
