MCQ
Which can act as oxidizing as well as reducing agent?
- ✓$SO_2$
- B$Mn_2O_7$
- C$Al_2O_3$
- D$CrO_3$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$SO_2$
a
$SO _2$ acts both oxidizing agent and reducing agent. In $SO _2$ sulphur loses $4$ electrons to oxygen and forms $+4$ oxidation state and as it has $6$ valence electrons it has the ability to gain $2$ electrons and forms $-2$ oxidation state. So it has the ability to donate and gain the electrons so it acts like both oxidizing and reducing agent.
