What does the decreasing standard electrode potential imply as we go from top to bottom in the series?

Options

  1. AThe reducing power of the species on the left increases.
  2. BThe oxidizing power of the species on the left increases.
  3. CThe reducing power of the species on the right increases.
  4. DBoth B and C

Correct answer

D. Both B and C

Step-by-step solution

The paragraph explains that as we go from top to bottom in the series, the standard electrode potential decreases and with this, decreases the oxidising power of the species on the left and increases the reducing power of the species on the right hand side of the reaction.
