    Which is the strongest oxidizing agent?

    A)  \[N{{a}^{+}}\]                  

    B)         \[L{{i}^{+}}\]                    

    C)  \[Z{{n}^{2+}}\]

    D)         \[C{{u}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The   order   of   these   species   in electro-chemical series, from top to bottom is   \[L{{i}^{+}},N{{a}^{+}},Z{{n}^{2+}}\] and \[C{{u}^{2+}}\]. In electrochemical series, as we move from top to bottom, the oxidising power increases, hence, \[C{{u}^{2+}}\] is the strongest oxidising agent among these.
