Chemistry-Standard Electrode Potential

NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11

Assertion (A): The standard electrode potential of a redox couple is a measure of the relative tendency of the species to remain in the oxidized or reduced form. | Reason (R): A negative standard electrode potential indicates that the redox couple is a stronger reducing agent.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context states that the electrode potential value is a measure of the relative tendency of the species to remain in the oxidized or reduced form. A negative electrode potential indicates a stronger reducing agent.
