Which of the following compound has reducing character?
- A \(\mathrm{SO}_2\)
- B \(\mathrm{TeO}_2\)
- C \(\mathrm{SO}_3\)
- D \(\mathrm{TeO}_3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\mathrm{SO}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{SO}_2\) shows reducing character because +6 oxidation state of \(S\) is more stable than its +4 oxidation state. \(\mathrm{TeO}_2\) shows oxidising character because its +4 oxidation state is more stable due to inert pair effect. \(\mathrm{SO}_3\) and…
