Which is the strongest reducing agent?

A

HF

B

HBr

C

HCI

D

HI

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The reducing power increases from HF (or `H_(2)F_(2))` to HI, because the strength of H-X bond decreases down the group, owing to the increase in size of X- atom.
Hence, HI is the strongest reducing agent.
