Li has least reduction potential in electrochemical series. Which element has highest REDUCTION potential?
Correct answer: B. F
- A. N
- B. F
- C. O
- D. Cl
Explanation
Fluorine has the highest reduction potential in the electrochemical series, indicated by its standard reduction potential of Eered = +2.87V. This makes it the strongest oxidizing agent in the series, meaning it is very difficult to oxidize. Other elements, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine, have lower reduction potentials compared to fluorine, making them less effective as oxidizing agents.

About Electrochemistry
Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
