Answer 1

Which of the following is the best reducing agent:
\[F_{2}, F^{-}, H_{2}, Na, Na^{+}\]
Explain. Order as many of these species as possible from the best to the worst oxidizing agent. Why can't you order all of them?

Answer 2

F2,H2,and Na have have oxidation levels of 0. F- and Na+ have oxidation levels of -1 and +1 with respect.

You can explain this in your own words, if you explain your reasoning ill check it to put my input in. These are good question to what chemistry actually is other than plugging in numbers and chugging away
