a)

 i) Hydration enthalpy of F^{-} ion is more than Cl^{-} ion because of smaller size of F – ion than Cl– ion

 ii) SO_{2} is a reducing agent, whereas TeO_{2} is an oxidising agent in group-16 oxides because sulphur is more stable in +6 state and Tellurium is more stable in +4 state

b) 2F2 + 2H2O ------->  4HF + O2

 I2 doesnot react with water because I2 is a weak oxidizing agent.
