MCQ
Fluorine is a better oxidising agent than $B{r_2}$. It is due to
  • A
    Small size of fluorine
  • B
    More electron repulsion in fluorine
  • C
    More electronegativity of fluorine
  • Non-metallic nature of fluorine

Answer

Correct option: D.
Non-metallic nature of fluorine
d
$F$ is more electronegative than $Br$. Therefore it can easily accept $e ^{-}$ and oxidise others.

Therefore $F _2$ is better oxidising agent than $Br _2$
