Question

Strongest oxidising agent among halogen is: (A)  I2  (B)  Br2  (C)  Cl2  (D)  F2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Fluorine has maximum reduction electrode potential (EoF/F-=2.87 V), hence it is easily reduced into textF- and consequently textF2 is the best oxidizing agent.

Fluorine has maximum reduction electrode potential $(E^{o}_{F / F^{-}} = 2.87 V),$ hence it is easily reduced into $F^{-}$ and consequently $F_{2}$ is the best oxidizing agent.
