Since it is being oxidised, it'll by default reduce some other element, and hence is a reducing agent.

See, the total charge is always balanced right,
if it gets oxidised (loses electrons) , the lost electrons will be added to some other element(hence that element is reduced)

dls · Answer

total charged balanced hota hai? :P

shubhamsrg · Answer

haa. aur kya? warna baki ka charge kaha jayega ?

dls · Answer
