MCQ
Choose the $CORRECT$ reason for fluorine being a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine 

$(I)$ Low enthalpy of dissociation of $F-F$ bond

$(II)$ High hydration enthalpy of $F^-$

$(III)$ Low atomisation enthalpy of $F_2$

  • A
    Only $I$
  • Only $II$
  • C
    $I$ and $III$ only
  • D
    Both $I$ and $II$

Answer

Correct option: B.
Only $II$
b
The acidity of hydrides of $VI$ group elements increase from top to bottom as the bond strength $X-H$ decrease from top to bottom $H_2O < H_2S < H_2Se < H_2Te$
