Which of the following statement is incorrect about the standard electrode potential?
Which of the following statement is incorrect about the standard electrode potential?
Show Hint
Chemistry Tip: More positive reduction potential = stronger oxidising agent; more negative = stronger reducing agent.

- A negative $E^\circ$ value means the redox couple is a stronger reducing agent than the $H^+/H_2$ couple.
- A positive $E^\circ$ value means the redox couple is a weaker reducing agent than the $H^+/H_2$ couple.
- The standard electrode potential value of hydrogen electrode is $0.0$
- The trend in $E^\circ$ value from top to bottom shows the increasing strength of reducing agent.
- The trend in $E^\circ$ value from top to bottom shows the increasing strength of oxidising agent.
