Reactive metals are good reducing agents the most suitable example for this is lithium.
Explanation:
- Reactivity of a metal means how easily it is able to lose an electron. A metal atom which can easily lose an electron will itself gets oxidized and is able to reduce another substance or element.
- Smaller is the size of metal atom more readily it will lose an electron in order to gain stability. Also, more negative is the value of electrode potential more good is the reducing power of the element.
- For example, lithium atom is the smallest atom whose reduction potential value is -3.04 V. Hence, it is the strongest reducing agent among other metals.
