Discuss the oxidising power of fluorine.

Answer»


SOLUTION :(i) All the halogens have strong oxidising PROPERTY due to their high electron affinity.
(ii) Fluorine is thestrongest oxidising agent. It oxidises other halide IONS into halogens in solution or when dry.
`F_(2)+2X^(-) rarr 2F^(-)+X_(2)` (where `X^(-)=CL^(-), Br^(-), I^(-)`)
