B) F > O > Cl >Br

C) F > Cl > Br > O

D) O > F > Cl >Br​

Answer 1

Answer:

B. F > O > Cl > Br

Hope it helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

In a period, from left to right, with an increase in the atomic number, the oxidizing character increases due to the presence of vacant d orbitals in their valence shells.

Hence, the decreasing order of oxidizing character is F > O > N.

On moving down the group, the oxidizing character decreases. hence, F > Cl.

But O has higher oxidizing character than Cl thus, O > Cl.

Thus, the correct order of chemical reactivity of F, Cl, O, and N in terms of their oxidizing property is F > O > Cl > N.

so B) F > O > Cl >Br is your correct answer
