The correct Answer is:
To arrange the halogens \( F_2, Cl_2, Br_2, I_2 \) in increasing order of their oxidizing power, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Oxidizing Power of Halogens Halogens are known for their ability to gain electrons, which means they have a strong oxidizing power. The oxidizing power of halogens generally decreases as we move down the group in the periodic table. ### Step 2: Identify the Trend in Oxidizing Power The trend in oxidizing power for halogens is as follows: - Fluorine (\( F_2 \)) has the highest oxidizing power. - Chlorine (\( Cl_2 \)) has a lower oxidizing power than fluorine. - Bromine (\( Br_2 \)) has an even lower oxidizing power than chlorine. - Iodine (\( I_2 \)) has the lowest oxidizing power among these four halogens. ### Step 3: Arrange the Halogens Based on the trend identified, we can arrange the halogens in increasing order of their oxidizing power: 1. \( I_2 \) (lowest oxidizing power) 2. \( Br_2 \) 3. \( Cl_2 \) 4. \( F_2 \) (highest oxidizing power) ### Final Arrangement Thus, the increasing order of oxidizing power is: \[ I_2 < Br_2 < Cl_2 < F_2 \]
