(i) Draw the gas phase and solid phase structure of .
(ii) is a better oxidising agent than water. Explain.
(i) The structure of differs according to its physical state, as explained below: -
(ii) is a better oxidising agent than water as it works in both acidic and alkaline mediums. Water as an oxidising agent is reduced to and reacts with only active metals with other conditions such as the electrode potential being less than -0.83V.
