Fluorine and chlorine both need to gain electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration of 8 electrons in their outer shell, but fluorine is the smaller atom. As atoms get larger, their ability to attract electrons is reduced and they become more metallic in nature and less nonmetallic, because the outer shells of the electrons are farther from the positively charged nucleus, and even though the nucleus of larger atoms also has a larger positive charge, the increase in charge has less effect than the increase in distance, because charge is a direct proportionality and distance is an inversely squared proportionality. Distance matters more. So fluorine has the greater attraction for electrons, or as you put it, it has the greater reduction potential.

Is 1 or negative 1 greater?
In standard mathematics, 1 is greater than -1. This is written as 1 > -1
Which has greater line capacity T1 or E1?
The E1 has a greater line capacity. E1 is the European standard and runs at 2.084 Mbps. The American T-1 standard runs at a capacity of 1.544 Mbps.
How do you write greater decimal in standard form two thousand and one millionth or ten thousand and one hundredth?
So the two numbers are 2000.000001 and 10000.01. 10000.01 is the greater and this is 1.000001x104 in standard form
What is the sample size for standard deviation?
There is no such thing. The standard error can be calculated for a sample of any size greater than 1.
How do you calculate mean and Median smaller then Standard deviation?
In the same way that you calculate mean and median that are greater than the standard deviation!
