Which one among the following is the most powerful oxidizing agent?

The standard reduction potentials of the halogens are given below: - 0 2 - 0 2 - 0 2 - 0 2 F +2e 2F E = +2.87 V Cl +2e 2Cl E = +1.36 V Br +2e 2Br E = +1.08 V I +2e 2I E = +0.535 V → → → → The standard reduction potential value is directly proportional to the oxidizing power. Here, we can see that the value of standard reduction potential is highest for F₂. So, F₂ will have the highest oxidizing power. Hence, among the options, F₂ is the most powerful oxidizing agent.
