Answer:
CHLORINE is an oxidizing Agent
REASON;
An oxidising agent is a species that can be reduced (in order to oxidise another species) by accepting electrons from another atom. As it is a relatively small atom, with only seven electrons in its outer shell, it is happy to accept an eighth electron in order to achieve a stable noble gas electron arrangement.
Chlorine is an oxidising agent as it has the ability to take electrons( e.g., from both bromide ions and iodide ions it takes electrons to complete its ions).
