Question

Why oxidising power increases left to right across a period?

Answer 1

The feasibility of using sulfate-reducing bacteria to remove heavy metals from aqueous streams such as acid mine drainage was evaluated using three anaerobic reactors: an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, a packed filter reactor, and a filter reactor that was partially packed with floating plastic pall ..

Answer 2

The oxidising power of element increases on moving from left to right along a period in the period in the periodic table. The oxidising power of elements increases on moving left to right along a period in the periodic table because electronegativity and the non-metallic character increases from left to right.
