Question
Among the properties (A) reducing (B) oxidizing (C) complexing, the set of properties shown by $\mathrm{CN}$ - ion towards metal species is(a) A, B(b) $\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$(c) $\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{A}$(d) A, B, C
Step 1
A reducing agent is a species that donates electrons to another species, thereby reducing the other species. The CN- ion has a negative charge, which means it has an extra electron. This makes it a potential reducing agent, as it can donate this electron to a Show more…

Among the properties (A) reducing (B) oxidizing (C) complexing, the set of properties shown by $\mathrm{CN}$ - ion towards metal species is [2004] (a) A, B (b) $\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$ (c) $\mathrm{C}, \mathrm{A}$ (d) $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$
A Four metals, $A, B, C,$ and $D$, exhibit the following properties: (a) Only A and C react with L.O M hydrochloric acid to give $\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{g})$ (b) When $C$ is added to solutions of the ions of the other metals, metallic $\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{D},$ and $\mathrm{A}$ are formed. (c) Metal D reduces $\mathrm{B}^{n+}$ to give metallic $\mathrm{B}$ and $\mathbf{D}^{n+1}$ Based on this information, arrange the four metals in order of increasing ability to act as reducing agents.
