Question:
Nature of compounds TeO₂ and TeH₂ is___________ and ______________respectively.
Nature of compounds TeO₂ and TeH₂ is___________ and ______________respectively.
Show Hint
In general, compounds of elements in higher oxidation states tend to be oxidising agents, while compounds of elements in lower oxidation states tend to be reducing agents.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
TeO₂ is an oxidising agent. It is a higher oxidation state of tellurium (oxidation state +4) and behaves as an oxidising agent.
TeH₂, on the other hand, is in the lower oxidation state (+2) and behaves as a reducing agent.
Thus, TeO₂ is an oxidising agent, and TeH₂ is a reducing agent.
