We know, Oxidizing agent: oxidize other and undergo reduction itself Reducing agent: Reduce other and undergo oxidation itself So stronger oxidizing agent must have more reduction potential as it has to easily undergo reduction. The stronger reducing agent has lesser reduction potential as it itself likes to undergo oxidation. We can say in this way also Oxidizing agent accepts electron so it is cation An++ne-→A Reducing agent releases electron so it is neutral A→An++ne-Reduction potential- EoX+/X>EoY2+/Y>EoZ3+/z The strongest oxidizing agent X+ as it has highest reduction potential so it can easily get reduced and oxidize other and act as oxidizing agent. The weakest oxidizing agent Z3+ as it has the lowest reduction potential so it hardly undergoes reduction or oxidizes other. The strongest reducing agent Z As, it has more tendency to get oxidize and reduce other. it has less reduction potential. The weakest reducing agent X As, it has less tendency to get oxidize and reduce other. it has large reduction potential.Strongest oxidizing agent X+ Weakest oxidizing agent Z3+ Strongest reducing agent Z Weakest reducing agent X
