Question
The correct order of increasing oxidising power is :
Options
A.Cl2 < Br2 < F2 < I2
B.F2 < Br2 < Cl2 < I2
C.F2 > Br2 > Cl2 > I2
D.I2 < Br2 < Cl2 < F2
Solution
Metals are good reducing agents, white non-metals are good oxidising agents. Furtheramong halogens, metallic character increases as we move from top to bottom in a group, i.e., oxidising nature is
I2 < Br2 < Cl2 < F2
I2 < Br2 < Cl2 < F2
