Oxidation is the loss of electrons and an element responsible for this loss is an oxidizing agent, an element which has great affinity for electrons is strong oxidizing agent , Fluorine atom has highest electronegatvity so it is strongest oxidizing element. oxidizing agent oxidizes others and itself becomes reduced.

Fluorine gas (F2) is considered one of the strongest oxidizing agents due to its high electronegativity and ability to readily accept electrons in chemical reactions. It is highly reactive and can oxidize almost all other elements.

It isn't. Ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and fluorine gas are much stronger. KrF+ salts are the strongest.

The strongest common one is fluorine gas. Adding antimony pentafluoride, SbF5, makes it even better.

Fluorine, is most reactive non-metal, therefore most oxidizing element. It is even better than Oxygen.
