Which of the following is not an oxidising agent?(a) magnesium oxide(b) carbon dioxide(c) ozone(d) sodium hydrideI have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.The query is from Redox Reactions in Terms of Electron Transfer Reactions in division Redox Reactions of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

Right choice is (d) sodium hydride

The explanation: MOLECULES of most ELECTRONEGATIVE elements, compounds having an element in the highest oxidation state and OXIDES of metals and nonmetals are examples of oxidising AGENTS. But sodium hydride is a metallic hydride, so it is not an oxidizing AGENT.
