In a period from left to right , the elements become more electronegative, so they want electrons rather than donating , that is why they get reduced easily and act as powerful oxidising agents. Flourine is the best oxidising agent and Lithium is the best reducing agent because flourine has tendency to gain electrons whereas lithium has tendency to loose.
