Question
Indentify the strongest and the weakest oxidizing agents from the electrochemical series.
✓
Answer
From the electrochemical series,
(a) The strongest oxidising agent is fluorine since it has the highest standard reduction potential $\left(E_{ F _2 / F ^{-}}^0=+2.87 V \right)$.
(b) The weakest oxidising agent (or the strongest reducing agent) is lithium since it has the lowest standard reduction potential, $\left(E_{ Li ^{+} / Li ^0}^0=-3.045 V \right)$.
