Which among the following compounds does not act as a reducing agent?A. `H_(2)O`B. `H_(2)S`C. `H_(2)Se`D. `H_(2)Te`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The reducing power of hydride of 10th group element increases as `H_(2)O lt H_(2)S lt H_(2)Se lt H_(2)Te` because on moving `H_(2)O` to `H_(2)Te` size of central atom increases and hence thermal stability decreases.
