What all factors does the reducing agent depends upon.
1- ease of breakage of E-H bond (where E=element)
2- electron density on the negative ion
3- presence of lone pairs on the negative ion
4- its own tendency to get oxidised due to unstable oxidation state or attaining of greater stability upon oxidation
