Solution

Analysing the trend in oxidizing power of elements across the period.
$∙$ On moving from left to right in a period as the tendency to accept electrons increases.

Q. Give reason as to why- the oxidising power of elements increase on moving from left to right along a period in the periodic table.

Give scientific reasons:

1. Atomic size increases down the group.

2. Metallic character decreases from left to right in a period.

3. Elements in the same group show same valency.

Q. Assertion :The oxidizing power of elements increases from left to right along a period. Reason: As we move from left to right, electronegativity of elements increases, so they have less tendency to loose electrons and non-metallic character of elements increases
