Question

Fluorine is a better oxidising agent than $B{r}_2$. It is due to

• A. Small size of fluorine
• B. More electron repulsion in fluorine
• C. More electronegativity of fluorine
• D. Non-metallic nature of fluorine

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$F_2$ is a better oxidising agent than $B{r}_2^{-}$. It is due to more electronegativity of fluorine.
