NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Standard electrode potential of a redox couple is the measure of the relative tendency of the active species to remain in its oxidised or reduced form.
Reason (R): A negative standard electrode potential indicates that the redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than hydrogen.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The standard electrode potential indicates the tendency of a species to be oxidised or reduced. A negative value means it is a stronger reducing agent than hydrogen, explaining the assertion.
