Fluorine is the best oxidising agent because it has :

• highest electron affinity

• highest E^o_red

• highest E^o_oxid

• lowest electron effinity

Bleaching action of SO₂ is due to its :

• oxidising property

• acidic property

• basic property

• reducing property

When I₂ is passed through KCl , KF and KBr solutions :

• Cl₂ and Br₂ are evolved

• Cl₂ is evolved

• Cl₂ , Br₂ and F₂ are evolved

• none of the above

Assertion : Sb₂S₃ is not soluble in yellow ammonium sulphide.

Reason : The common ion effect due to S^2- ions reduces the solubility of Sb₂S₃.

• If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

• If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

• If assertion is true, but reason is false.

• Both assertion and reason are false statements.
