Answer:
an oxidizing agent is a chemical species that undergoes a chemical reaction in which it gains one or more electrons. In that sense, it is one component in an oxidation–reduction (redox) reaction.
Halogens act as a good oxidizing agent because of high electronegativity and high electron affinity which makes them to take electrons very much easily and readily takes electrons from other elements and oxidise other elements. Therefore, it is a very good oxidising agent.
