  1. High electronegativity
  2. High ionization energy
  3. Low oxidation potential
  4. High oxidation potential

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of a good reducing agent?
  • Step 1: Understand what a reducing agent is. A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons to another substance in a chemical reaction.
  • Step 2: Learn about oxidation potential. Oxidation potential refers to how easily a substance can lose electrons.
  • Step 3: Recognize that a good reducing agent has a low oxidation potential. This means it can easily give away its electrons.
  • Step 4: Conclude that because it can easily donate electrons, a good reducing agent is effective in causing other substances to be reduced.
