Fluorine is the best oxidising agent because it has

A

Highest electron affinity

B

Highest `E_("red")^@`

C

Highest `E_("oxid")^@`

D

Lowest electron affinity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Fluorine has highest `E_(red)^@` (equal to +2.9V) due to which it can easily accept an electron and hence it is the best oxidising agent.
