Both Na\(^+\) and K\(^+\) have
- Atendency to give electrons
- Bnegative reduction potential
- Ctendency to accept electrons
- Dnegative oxidation potential
Explanation
Both Na⁺ and K⁺ have negative standard reduction potentials (-2.71 V and -2.92 V, respectively) because Na and K readily lose electrons to form stable cations, making their reverse reduction process unfavorable.
