    Which of the following is not a reducing agent?

    A) \[S{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[N{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     In \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{,}\]the oxidation number of C, i.e., + 4 is already the maximum and it cannot increase its oxidation number further hence, does not act as a reducing agent.
