As we learnt

 

Oxidising Nature -

 

F2>Cl2>Br2>I2

- wherein

On increasing electronegativity oxidising power increases

 

 According to electrochemical series, Reduction potential of F_2 is +2.87 which is highest among all species and it is due to small size of F^-, high hydration energy and high electronegativity of F_2.
