Hi everyone here, we have a question asking us to determine the part of the periodic table in the image that is easily reduced. So we have our red area here which is our non metals and they are our most reduced. So they are gaining electrons. Then we have our part B, which is our yellow here, which is our main metals which are losing electrons. So there are most oxidized. And then we have part C, which is our green and those are our metal Lloyd's. Lastly we have the blue which is part D, which is our transition metals. So our answer here, which is most easily reduced is a Our non medals. Thank you for watching. Bye.
