Fluorine is the best oxidising agent because it has

A

Highest electron affinity

B

Highest `E_("red")^(@)`

C

Highest `E_("oxid")^(@)`

D

Lowest electron affinity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Fluorine has highest `E^(o)` red {Equal to +2.9 V} due to which it can easily accept an electron % hence it is the best oxidising agent.
