Although electron gain enthalpy of fluor...

Although electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative as compared to chlorine, fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It is due to
(i) low enthalpy of dissociation of `F-F` bond (Table 7.8).
(ii) high hydration enthalpy of `F^(-)` (Table 7.8).
