Question

Which is the correct trend of oxiding power in halogen on moving down the group
A) Fz>Cl2>Brz>l2
C) F2<Brz<lz<Cl2
B) Cl2>Brz>F2>12
D) F2<Cl2<Br2<12​

Answer 1

$\huge{\pink{\underline{\underline{Answer:-}}}}$

Solution:

The correct order of oxidising power is

F2>Cl2>Br2>I2

Oxidising power of halogens decrease down the group

Knowledge booster:

1. Oxidising power indicates the ability to oxidise others and reduce itself. This is also called reduction. Fluorine is the strongest oxidising agent.
2. Metals are good reducing agent while non metals are good oxidising agent.
3. In halogens, metalllic character increases down the group which indicate reducing power or oxidation increases down the group
4. Oxidising agent are also called reduction occur while reducing agents are also called oxidation. Always at anode oxidation take place and at cathode reduction take place(Trick is AN OX RED CAR) Anode - oxidation, cathode - Reduction)
5. Electrode potential value is more negative for strong reducing agent and more positive for strong oxidising agent

Answer 2

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Cl2 + NaBr --> Br2 +. 2NaCl

Cl2. + 2 Br --> Br2 + 2Cl
