Question

which of the following substances acts as an oxidising as well as reducing agent a) Na2O b) SnCl2 c) Na2O2 d) NaNO2

Answer 1

Na20 ansswerrrrsssssrrrrreeeww

Answer 2

$Na_2 O$ acts as both an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent as well.

Option (a).

Explanation:

• In $Na_2O$ the oxygen atom loses one-two electrons to form a bond with two Na atoms, so it will act as an oxidising agent and it will also gain two electrons from Na atom to obtain octet configuration, so it will act as a reducing agent.

• In simple, the substance which loses an electron from the oxygen atom will be considered as an oxidising agent or it can also be termed as a reductant.

• And the substance which gains an electron to oxygen atom will be considered as a reducing agent or it can also be termed as an oxidant.
