Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reducing nature of elements depends on their ability to lose electrons,which is related to their standard oxidation potential.$1$. Alkali metals are stronger reducing agents than alkaline earth metals because they have lower ionization enthalpies.$2$. Among the given options,$K$ (Potassium) is an alkali metal,while $Mg$ (Magnesium),$Al$ (Aluminum),and $Ba$ (Barium) are either alkaline earth metals or post-transition metals.$3$. Within the alkali metal group,the reducing power increases down the group due to the decrease in ionization enthalpy.$4$. Comparing the given elements,$K$ has the highest tendency to lose electrons compared to $Mg$,$Al$,and $Ba$. Therefore,$K$ is the strongest reducing agent.
