Answer:
Explanation:
Fluorine is the most electronegative element. But due to its high effective nuclear charge it holds up its electron density very tightly, moreover its a non-metal so preferably accepts electron to form stable (F–) ion which has configuration of Ne. F2 ------> F- + e- is very favorable therefore it gets reduced very easily (reduced form F- is very stable than F2) and so it oxidises other elements and self gets reduced.
