Which is the least likely to be reduced?
O A. Zn2+
O B. Mg2+
O C. Ni2+
O D. Fe2+
SH

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would actually be B

Explanation:

A P E X

Answer 2

The one that is least probable to be reduced would be:

B). $Mg2+$

Reduction

• Reduction is denoted as the process in which an element acquires electrons through ions.
• This results in the valence of the element to be reduced which is usually the outcome of the transfer of oxygen or via hydrogen's addition.
• Among the given options,  $Mg2+$ would be least likely to be reduced as its oxidation state is maximum.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
