Compare the oxidising power of fluorine chlorine nitrogen and oxygen |
|
Answer» Answer: Explanation: concept : In group , OXIDIZING power { means tendency to GAIN electron } decreases from top to BOTTOM as the size increases . But in period , oxidizing power increases when we move left to right because size decreases. Here, F, Cl, O, N are given . Oxygen is more electronegative than Cl , hence, O is stronger oxidizing agent than Cl. Also F is the best electronegative element.hence, it is the best oxidizing agent. Hence, order of oxidizing agents is F > O > Cl > N |
