F_2 is much more powerful in oxidising, than Cl_2.The reason being, hydration enthalpy of F– ions (515 kJ mol–1) is much higher than that of Cl– ion (381 kJ mol–1). the dissociation energy of bond  F-F is less than Cl-Cl bond but The former factor more than compensate the less negative electron gain enthalpy of F2. Hence it is a much stronger oxidising agent.
