MCQ
Which of the following species can function both as oxidizing as well as reducing agent ?
- A$Cl^-$
- B$ClO_4^-$
- ✓$ClO^-$
- D$MnO_4^-$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$ClO^-$
c
Species $O.N.$
Species $O.N.$
$Cl^-$ $-1$
$ClO_4^-$ $+7$
$ClO^-$ $+1$
$MnO_4^-$ $+7$
$NO_3^-$ $+5$
In $ClO^-$ chlorine is in $+1$ oxidation state which can be increased or decreased thus it acts as an oxidising or reducing agent. In other given species the underlined elements are either minimum or maximum oxidation state.
