Question

In which reaction is hydrogen acting as an oxidising
agent?
1. With ioding to give hydrogen iodide
2. With lithium to give lithium hydride
3. With nitrogen to give ammonia
4. With sulphur to give hydrogen sulphide

Answer 1

Answer:

If the oxidation number of a substance reduces, then it has undergone reduction and hence is an oxidising agent. From all the options mentioned above, the oxidation state of hydrogen reduces in only one case. Hence, Option B is the correct option.
