Consider the following reduction processes :
Zn²⁺ + 2e^–

\to

Zn(s) ; E^o = – 0.76 V
Ca²⁺ + 2e^–

\to

Ca(s); E^o = –2.87 V
Mg²⁺ + 2e^–

\to

Mg(s) ; E^o = – 2.36 V
Ni² + 2e^–

\to

Ni(s) ; E^o = – 0.25
The reducing power of the metals increases in the order :

Accepted Answer

Higher the oxidation potential better will be reducing power.
