Detailed Solution

B.D.E….Cl2 > Br2 >F2 > I

Hydration enthalpy…F- > Cl- > Br- > I-

Due to high hydration enthalpy of F- and low B.D.E of F2, F2 is the strongest oxidant and highly reactive;

Reactivity and oxidizing power…..F2 > Cl2> Br2 > I2;

SRP Values of E12F2/F-0+2.87 V > E12Cl2/Cl-0+1.36 V > E12Br2/Br-0+1.08 V > E12I2/I-0+0.54 V ;

Reducing power….I- > Br- > Cl- > F- ;

Ion of strong reducing agent is weak oxidizing agent and vice-versa
