Question:
Fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine because of its higher electronegativity and lower bond dissociation energy. (a) F-F bond has a low enthalpy of dissociation. (b) Fluoride ion $\left(\mathrm{F}^{-}\right)$has high hydration enthalpy. (c) Electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is more negative than chlorine. (d) Fluorine has a very small size.
