MCQ
Flourine is the best oxidising agent because it has
  • A
    Highest electron affinity
  • Highest $E_{{\rm{red}}}^{\rm{o}}$
  • C
    Highest $E_{{\rm{oxid}}}^{\rm{o}}$
  • D
    Lowest electron affinity

Answer

Correct option: B.
Highest $E_{{\rm{red}}}^{\rm{o}}$
b
(b) Fluorine has highest ${E^o}{\rm{ red}}$ {Equal to +$2.9 \,V$} due to which it can easily accept an electron & hence it is the best oxidising agent.
