In which of the following the elements are in correct order of their chemical reactivity in terms of oxidizing property?
  1. $\mathrm{F}>\mathrm{O}>\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{N}$
  2. O $>$ F $>$ Cl $>\mathrm{N}$
  3. $\mathrm{Cl}>$ F $>$ O $>\mathrm{N}$
  4. F $>\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{N}>\mathrm{O}$

Solution

Oxidizing property depends on the enthylpy of sublimation, ionization enthalpy of the element as well as solvation energy of the resulting anion of oxidizing agent.
