Which of the following statement is `//`are correct regarding `F^(-)` and `CI^(-)`
(i) `Cl^(-)` can give up an electron more easily than `F^(-)`
(ii) `Cl^(-)` is smaller in size than `F^(-)`
(iii) `Cl^(-)` is a better reducing agent then `F^(-)`
(iv) `F^(-)` can be oxidized more readily than `Cl^(-)`

A

I and II

B

I. II and IV

C

III and IV

D

Only I

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The electronegativity of `F^(-)` ion is high, so it accept an electron and `Cl^(-)` ion give an electron more easily. Also the size of `F^(-)` is smaller then chloride ion `(Cl^(-))`.
