Elements with higher electronegativity are good oxidizing agents .Give reasons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Elements with higher electronegativity have greater tendencyto attract the shared pair of electorns present in a compound .An atom which undergoes reduction is and oxidizing agent .The greater the electronegativity value the more is its tendency to undergo reducton .So it acts as a good oxidizing agent
