Question

Which is a better oxidizing agent cl2 or f2

Open in App

Solution

Due to its small size Fluorine's hydration energy is very high.

Enthalpy of dissociation of F2 is lower than Cl2 due to large electron-electron repulsion in fluorine.

These two factors contribute to high positive electrode potential of F2 compared to Cl2.

Hence F2 is a stronger oxidising agent.
