Choose the chemical properties of metals and non-metals with reference to electrochemical nature.
- A. Both are reducing agent
- B. Both are oxidising agent
- C. Metal acts as reducing agent while non metals acts as oxidising agent
- D. Non-metal acts as reducing agent while metals acts as oxidising agent
Step-by-step solution
In electrochemistry, metals are electropositive and tend to lose electrons, acting as reducing agents. Non-metals are electronegative and tend to gain electrons, acting as oxidizing agents.
