Which of the following ion cannot act as an oxidizing agent?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
In I⁻ iodine is in its lowest oxidation state (-1); it can only lose electrons, so it acts only as a reducing agent and never as an oxidising agent. MnO₄⁻ (Mn +7), CrO₄²⁻ (Cr +6) and Fe³⁺ can all accept electrons. Hence (c).
