Interpretation:
The general trend in standard potentials for the oxidation of first-series
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation: If electrons are moved from a species during a
Oxidizing agent: The substances that are capable to oxidize other species by accepting electrons from those species are called oxidizing agent which gets reduced during the process.
Effective nuclear charge: It is the charge experienced by the valence electrons from the nucleus. Effective nuclear charge increases across a period because increasing nuclear charge with no accompanying increase in shielding effect.
