    Regarding \[{{F}^{-}}\] and \[C{{l}^{-}}\] which of the following statements is/are correct?
    (i) \[C{{l}^{-}}\]can give up an electron more easily than\[{{F}^{-}}.\]
    (ii) \[C{{l}^{-}}\]is a better reducing agent than \[{{F}^{-}}.\]
    (iii) \[C{{l}^{-}}\]is smaller in size than \[{{F}^{-}}.\]
    (iv) \[{{F}^{-}}\]can be oxidized more readily than \[C{{l}^{-}}.\]

    A) (i) and (ii)          

    B)        (i), (ii) and (iv)

    C) (iii) and (iv)       

    D)        only (i)

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The halide ions act as reducing agents. F ion does not show any reducing nature but \[C{{l}^{-}},\] \[B{{r}^{-}}\]& \[{{I}^{-}}\] ion act as reducing agents and their reducing nature is in increasing order \[\xrightarrow[\text{Reducing}\,\,\text{nature}\,\,\text{increases}]{C{{1}^{-}}B{{r}^{-}}{{I}^{-}}}\]
