In which of the following the elements are in correct order of their chemical reactivity in terms of oxidizing property?

  1. A \(\mathrm{F}>\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{N}\)
  2. B O \(>\) F \(>\) Cl \(>\mathrm{N}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Cl}>\) F \(>\) O \(>\mathrm{N}\)
  4. D F \(>\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{O}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{F}>\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Oxidizing property depends on the enthylpy of sublimation, ionization enthalpy of the element as well as solvation energy of the resulting anion of oxidizing agent.
