Why So2 act as both oxidising agent as well as reducing agent while so3 act as oxidising agent only?

Answers

Answered by pdash1804

SO2 can act as both oxidising as well as reducing agent because it has (+4) oxidation state, which is exactly between its highest O.S. +6 and lowest O.S. (+2)

Hence it can change its oxidation no. either from +4 to +2 (reduction) or from +4 to +6 (oxidation).
