The compound AgF2 is unstable compound. However, if formed, the compound acts as a very strong oxidising agent. Why?
In AgF2, the oxidation state of Ag is +2 whereas its normal oxidation state is +1. The compound will, therefore, take part in a chemical reaction in order to decrease its oxidation state of Ag from +2 to +1. It is, therefore, a strong oxidising agent.
