Justify giving reactions that among halogens, fluorine is the best oxidant and among hydrohalic compounds, hydroiodic acid is the best reductant.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

F_2. is best oxidising agent bëcause it has highest standard reduction potential. It has low bond dissociation energy, high electron affinity and highest hydration energy of .F^-. ions. H-I. is best ređuctant due to low bond dissociation energy.
