State
A more positive standard reduction potential marks a stronger oxidizing agent, eager to be reduced; a more negative value marks a stronger reducing agent, eager to be oxidized.
Show
F2, strongly positive, is among the strongest common oxidizers; Li, strongly negative, is among the strongest reducers.
Watch for
Ranking by magnitude alone, ignoring sign, confuses the strongest oxidizer with the strongest reducer.
