प्रश्न
Fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine. Why?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The oxidising power of halogens decreases as we go down the group. The electrode potential of F2 is +2.87 V, while that of Cl2 is +1.36 V. This means that fluorine can be reduced more easily than chlorine. Therefore, fluorine is the strongest oxidising agent.
