c)Al
d)Br

Answer 1

HEY MATE HERE IS YOUR ANSWER--

ANSWER. (A)

Alkali metals are strongest reducing agents. Also, their reducing power increases down the group

Answer 2

The strongest reducing agent is K.

• One of the reactants in an oxidation-reduction reaction is a reducing agent, which reduces the other reactant by providing electrons to it.
• Low electronegative atoms have low ionisation energies, a good capacity to draw bonding electrons, and make effective reducers.
• Potassium is in the + 1 oxidation state in this instance. As a result, potassium metal is easily converted into the mono-positive cation K+, making it an effective reductant. Potassium is extremely persistent and is challenging to decrease when oxidised.
