NEET Chemistry Standard Electrode Potential Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): A redox couple with a more negative standard electrode potential is a stronger reducing agent than one with a more positive potential. | Reason (R): The standard electrode potential measures the tendency of the redox couple to remain in the oxidised or reduced form.
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, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A redox couple with a more negative standard electrode potential indeed indicates a stronger reducing agent, as it is more likely to lose electrons. The reason provided correctly explains this tendency.
