The electronegativity of F- ion is high, so it accept an electron and CI- ion can give an electron more easily. Also the size of F- is smaller than chloride ion (Cl-).

Q. Regarding F and Cl which of the following statement
(s) is/are correct?
I. $C I^{-}$ can give up an electron more easily than $F^{-}$ .
II. $C I^{-}$ is a better reducing agent than $F^{-}$ .
III. $C I^{-}$ is smaller in size than .
IV. $F^{-}$ can be oxidised more readily than $C I^{-}$ .

I and II

I, II and IV

Only I

The electronegativity of $F^{-}$ ion is high, so it
accept an electron and $C I^{-}$ ion can give an electron
more easily. Also the size of $F^{-}$ is smaller than
chloride ion (Cl-).
