Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Halogens are all good oxidising agent and their oxidising power decreases from top to bottom (F2 to I2) in group. Any halogen above in group oxidises halides down in group from their aqueous solution. Hence, Cl2 can oxidise Brto Br2, Ito I2 but cannot oxidise Fto F2 rather F2 can oxidise Clto Cl2.
