Question

Among the following Which is the strongest oxidizing agent?
a) cl2
b) F2
c) br2
d)I2​

Answer 1

Answer:

F2

Explanation:

Fluorine is the strongest oxidizing agent as it has the largest positive value of electrode potential.

Answer 2

Answer:

b) F2

Explanation:

The strongest oxidant in the table is F2, with a standard electrode potential of 2.87 V. This high value is consistent with the high electronegativity of fluorine and tells us that fluorine has a stronger tendency to accept electrons (it is a stronger oxidant) than any other element.
