A) Electrode potential
B) Reduction potential
C) Oxidation potential
D) e.m.f.
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The magnitude of the electrode potential of a metal is a measure of its relative tendency to lose or gain electrons. i.e., it is a measure of the relative tendency to undergo oxidation (loss of electrons) or reduction (gain of electrons). \[M\to {{M}^{n+}}+n{{e}^{-}}\] (oxidation potential) \[{{M}^{n+}}+n{{e}^{-}}\to M\] (reduction potential)
