Explanation :
- Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. That means, the loss of electrons takes place.
Or we can say that, oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.
- Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. That means, the gain of electrons takes place.
Or we can say that, reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.
According to the electrochemical series, most likely to be reduced because
Hence, the ion most likely to be reduced is .
