MCQ
Among the following which is the strongest oxidising agent ?
- A$Br_2$
- B$I_2$
- C$Cl_2$
- ✓$F_2$
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
$F_2$
d
Fluorine is the most electronegative element because electronegativity decreases on moving down the group. Hence, it gets reduced readily into $F^{-}$ ion and is the strongest oxidising agent.
