The compound `AgF_(2)` is unstable compound. However, if formed, the compound acts as a very strong oxidising agent. Why?

Explanation

In `AgF_(2)`, oxidation number of Ag is +2 which is very unstable. Therefore it rapidly gains electron and comes into +1 oxidation state.
`Ag^(+2)+e^(-)toAg^(+)`
Therefore, `AgF_(2)` is strong oxidizing agnet.
