Question

Based on your knowledge of periodic trends, organize the halides Br- ,Cl-, F-,I- in order of increasing tendency to give up an electron and be oxidized to the halogens.

Answer 1

The order of increasing tendency to give up an electron and be oxidized to the halogens. is: I > Br > Cl > F

electronegativity increases as you go right in the periodic table therefore that fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table of all the element . fluorine is above to chlorine means it's less electronegative ,Cl will lose electrons more easily than F,and the trend is continous for halogens.
