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

Electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less than that of chlorine - explain.

(A) Electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less than chlorine but fluorine is a strong oxidising agent than chlorine (R ) Fluorine has low enthalpy of dissociation and fluoride has high hydration enthalpy

Electron affinity of Fluorine is less than that of Chlorine because

Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent - explain with two examples.

(A): Electron affinity of fluorine is lower than that of chlorine (R): Fluorine has small and compact size and stronger inter electron repulsion than chlorine.
