Which one of the following types of elements is most likely to be a good oxidizing agent? group of answer choices a) transition elements b) alkaline earth elements c) alkali metals d) lanthanides e) halogens.

e) halogens

Explanation:

Halogens -

It is the group of elements present in the group 17 of the periodic table .

Oxidizing agent -

It is the process by which the process of oxidation takes place ,

It is the tendency of an element to oxidize other element by accepting electrons and reducing itself .

In the electrochemical series ,

Halogens are placed on the top of the series , and hence have the capability to act as a very good oxidizing agent , as they can easily accept electrons other elements and reduce themselves and thereby by oxidizing the other element .

they are both synthetic elements
