| The strongest oxidation and reducing agents respectively are |
A) \[{{F}_{2}}\]and\[{{I}^{-}}\]
B) \[B{{r}_{2}}\]and\[C{{l}^{-}}\]
C) \[C{{l}_{2}}\]and\[B{{r}^{-}}\]
D) \[C{{l}_{2}}\]and\[{{I}_{2}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The higher the value of reduction potential, the higher will be the oxidising power whereas the lower the value of reduction potential the higher will be the reducing power.
