Vedclass · Answer

(C) The reducing power of an element depends on its ability to lose electrons,which is determined by its standard electrode potential $(E^\circ)$.As we move down the group in alkaline earth metals $(Be$ $\rightarrow Mg$ $\rightarrow Ca$ $\rightarrow Sr$ $\rightarrow Ba)$,the ionization energy decreases.Consequently,the standard oxidation potential increases,making the metal a better reducing agent.$Ba$ has the lowest ionization energy and the most negative standard electrode potential among the given options,making it the strongest reducing agent.

$A$. Calcium	$p$. Brick red
$B$. Strontium	$q$. Apple green
$C$. Barium	$r$. Crimson

Which of the alkaline earth metals is the strongest reducing agent?
