Question

Oxidising action increases in halogen in the following order

  1. (a) Cl < Br < I < F  
  2. Cl < I < Br < F  
  3. (c) I < F < Cl < Br  
  4. I < Br < Cl < F  

The correct answer is: I < Br < Cl < F


    Tendency to gain e to the power of minus end exponent and oxidising power are related. Among halogens F is the directly most powerful oxidising agent.
