What is the standard electrode potential for the half-cell reaction involving fluorine?
Options
- AHighest
- BZero
- CNegative
- DLowest
Correct answer
A. Highest
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph mentions that the standard electrode potential for fluorine is the highest indicating that fluorine gas (F 2 ) has the maximum tendency to get reduced to fluoride ions (F- ) and therefore fluorine gas is the strongest oxidising agent and fluoride ion is the weakest reducing agent.
