10.2 Oxidising Nature of Non-metals
Oxidising nature depends on tendency of accepting the electrons. So oxidising nature increases from top to bottom in the electrochemical series. Strength of oxidising agent increases as the value of reduction potential becomes more and more positive.
Fluorine is stronger oxidant than chlorine, bromine, iodine.
