  3. High oxidation potential
  4. Low reactivity

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of a good reducing agent in metallurgy?
  • Step 1: Understand what a reducing agent is. A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons in a chemical reaction.
  • Step 2: Know that for a substance to donate electrons easily, it should have low ionization energy.
  • Step 3: Recognize that low ionization energy means it takes less energy to remove an electron from the atom.
  • Step 4: Conclude that a good reducing agent can easily give away electrons because it has low ionization energy.
