Solution

The correct option is B $F_{2}$
Among halogens, fluorine is the strongest oxidising agent. It has highest value of oxidation potential. It is due to its low heat of dissociation and high heat of hydration which have more than compensated the lower value of electron affinity.

Which is a better oxidizing agent cl2 or f2

The correct order of the oxidizing power of Cl₂, Br₂, I₂ and O₂ is:

I_{2}, {B r}_{2}, {C l}_{2}, F_{2}

I_{2} < {B r}_{2} < {C l}_{2} < F_{2}
