Question

Among the following which is the strongest oxidising agent?

Easy

A

Br₂
B

I₂
C

Cl₂
D

F₂

Solution

Standard potential for the reaction, F₂ + 2e^â $â$ 2F^âis highest, +2.87 V. This is because, fluoride is the easiest formed anion from its elements and hydration enthalpy is highest for fluoride. Highest SRP suggests that fluorine is the best oxidant.
