Question

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

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Fluorine has maximum reduction electrode potential (E F / F -°=2.87 V ) hence, it is easily reduced inot F -and consequently F 2 is the best oxidizing agent.

$I_{2}$

$B r_{2}$

$C l_{2}$

$F_{2}$

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