Which of the following is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to loose electron and thereby oxidise ?
Electron affinity
Oxidation potential
Electron gain enthalpy
None of these
As we have learnt,
Oxidation potential denotes the tendency of an element to loose an electron.
More the value of Oxidation potential, greater will be the tendency to get oxidised and stronger will be its reducing character
Therefore, option(2) is correct.
