The standard (half cell) reduction potentials of two reactions are given below.
Li+ (aq) + e
F2(g) + 2e¯
(aq)
From this information, one may conclude that Li(s):
→
Li(s)
2F
is an excellent reducing agent
is an excellent oxidizing agent
is very difficult to oxidize
will not react with F2(g)
is very electronegative
E° 3.04 V
E° = +2.87 V
