Redox reactions occur frequently in Group 17 chemistry. Which statement is correct?
- A$\text{Br}^-$ ions will reduce $\text{Cl}_2$ but not $\text{I}_2$.
- B$\text{Cl}_2$ will oxidise $\text{Br}^-$ ions but not $\text{I}^-$ ions.
- C$\text{F}_2$ is the weakest oxidising agent out of $\text{F}_2$, $\text{Cl}_2$, $\text{Br}_2$ and $\text{I}_2$.
- D$\text{I}^-$ ions are the weakest reducing agent out of $\text{F}^-$, $\text{Cl}^-$, $\text{Br}^-$ and $\text{I}^-$.
