Heavier halide is oxidised by lighter halogen. Justify.

Answer»

Solution :The oxidation ABILITY of HALOGENS is in the order : `F_(2)gtCl_(2)gtBr_(2)gtI_(2)`.
Lighter halogen is a stroger oxidant .Heavier halide is less stable , acts as a reducing AGENT and is easily oxidised .
The reaction that is easily POSSIBLE amonghalides and halogens is ,
`2I^(-)+F_(2)to2F^(-)+I_(2)`
