Answer:
Fluorine is the most electronegative, so forming F- is the most energetically favourable of the standard reductions. This makes fluorine the most powerful oxidising agent – it will even react with water it's that strong! Chlorine has the ability to take electrons from both bromide ions and iodide ions.
