Which oxide among the following cannot act as a reducing agent?
- A \(\mathrm{SO}_2\)
- B \(\mathrm{NO}_2\)
- C \(\mathrm{CO}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{ClO}_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{CO}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When, the central atom of an oxide of \(p\)-block element has its highest group oxidation state \(\left[(\mathrm{ON})_{\max }\right]\) it cannot be oxidised further, i.e., it will not act as a reducing agent.
