Which compounds acts as an oxidising as well as reducing agent?A. `SO_(2)`B. `MgO_(2)`C. `Al_(2)O_(3)`D. `CrO_(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The minimum and maximum oxidation number of S are -2 and +6 respectively. Since the oxidation number of S in `SO_(2)` is +4. therefore it can be either increased or decreased. Therefore `SO_(2)` behaves both as an oxidising as well as reducing agent.
