Assertion :- H_(2) is the reducing agent and Cl_(2) is reduced in the reaction. H_(2)+Cl_(2)rarr2HCl Reason :- Reducing agent is the one which has been oxidised and decrease of oxidation number means reduction.

Assertion (A): O_(3) can act as an oxidising agent as wll as a reducing agent, but SO_(2) can act only as an oxidant. Reason (R ): The oxidation number of O in O_(3) is zero, and the oxidiation number of S in SO_(2) is +4 .

Assertion :- In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of the oxidant decreases while that of reductant increases. Reason :- Oxidant gains electron(s) while reductant loses electron(s).
