Question

Match Column I with Column II. Select the correct mapping. Standard reduction potentials: E°(F₂/F⁻) = +2.87 V; E°(Li⁺/Li) = −3.5 V; E°(Au³⁺/Au) = +1.4 V; E°(Br₂/Br⁻) = +1.09 V.

Column I	Column II
(i) F₂	(a) metal strongest reducing agent
(ii) Li	(b) metal ion weakest oxidising agent
(iii) Au³⁺	(c) non-metal best oxidising agent
(iv) Br⁻	(d) unreactive metal
(v) Au	(e) anion oxidised by Au³⁺
(vi) Li⁺	(f) anion weakest reducing agent
(vii) F⁻	(g) metal ion oxidising agent

TestHub · Accepted Answer

F⁻ is the weakest reducing anion, so (vii) maps only to (f). The source key also gives (g), a metal-ion description, to F⁻; that erroneous duplicate is removed in this corrected conversion.
