Question

Compare the oxidising action of f2 and cl2 by considering a parameter such as bond expansion enthalpy electron gain enthalpy and hydration enthalpy

Answer 1

Answer:

Considering the parameters such as bond dissociation enthalpy, electron gain enthalpy and hydration enthalpy, compare the oxidising power of F2 and Cl2. Fluorine is a much stronger oxidizing agent than chlorine. ... Also, because of its small size, the hydration energy of fluorine is much higher than that of chlorine.
