Metals are _?
Correct answer: A. Reducing agents
- A. Reducing agents
- B. Oxidizing agents
- C. Both a and b
- D. Dehydrating agents
Explanation
A substance that tends to bring about reduction by being oxidized and losing electrons is reducing agentMetals lose electrons when they react and make the other reactant gain electrons (reduction) hence they are "reducing agents".

About s-Block and p-Block Elements
The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
