Fluorine is the best oxidising agent because it has

A

Electron affinity

B

Ionisation enthalpy

C

Hydration enthalpy

D

Bond dissociation energy

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Fluorine has the most negative value of `DeltaG^(@)` for the process
`F^(-)(g)+aqtoF^(-)(aq)`
This helps fluorine to act as a strong oxidising agent.
