Solution
F2 is the strongest oxidising agent because it possesses the minimum value of standard electrode potential.
Explanation:
Fluorine has the highest standard reduction potential (E° = +2.87 V), meaning it has the greatest tendency to gain electrons and get reduced.
Hence, it acts as the strongest oxidising agent, accepting electrons from other substances readily.
