$F$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) reducing agent is a substance that loses electrons and undergoes oxidation. $F$ (Fluorine) is the most electronegative element in the periodic table. It has the highest tendency to gain electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration $(F + e^- \rightarrow F^-)$. Because it only undergoes reduction and never oxidation,it acts exclusively as an oxidizing agent and never as a reducing agent.
