Answer: a)  Sn 2+  

Explanation:A reducing agent is a substance  that can be oxidized when it loses electrons while An oxidizing agent is a substance that is reduced when it gains   electrons.

 Considering  Cu 2+,   Fe 3+, Al 3+, Here,  Cu 2+ can  be reduce to its Copper metal, same for  Al 3+ to Aluminium  metal  and Fe 3+  to Fe 2+ ion  and will not be oxidized further since they are in their most oxidized states. The three ions are acting as only oxidizing agents.

while Sn 2+ can be oxidized to become Sn 4+ and also  be reduced to become Sn metal  acting as a reducing agent and an oxidizing agent.

Which one of these have the biggest ionization energy and why? O, N, F
Nitella [24]

Answer: Fluorine has the highest ionization enthalpy.

Explanation: This is because the ionization energy decreases from top to bottom and increases from left to right. Also, ionization enthalpy is the amount of energy required by an isolated gaseous atom to lose an electron in its ground state.

Since fluorine needs just one atom to attain noble gas configuration so it will not want to lose any electron and hence a high amount of energy will be required to remove an electron from it.
