What are the five strong oxidizing agents?

1 Answer

Oct 7, 2016

I can give you five strong oxidizing agents.

Explanation:

$Dioxygen and difluorine$ $"Dioxygen and difluorine"$ , i.e. $F_{2}$ $F_2$ , and $O_{2}$ $O_2$ .

And then the delightfully named $FOOF, O_{2} F_{2}$ $"FOOF", O_2F_2$ ; this will make anything it touches go $FOOF$ $"FOOF"$ .

$C l F_{3}$ $ClF_3$ , where $C l$ $Cl$ has a $+ I I I$ $+III$ oxidation state. And then possibly $O_{3}$ $O_3$ , ozone.
