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.
In this case, the strongest reducing agent is Cl-, followed by Br-, and then I-. This is because the larger the atomic radius, the easier it is to lose an electron, making them better reducing agents.
Among the compounds listed, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is the strongest oxidizing agent. It can readily donate oxygen atoms in reaction with other substances, making it a powerful oxidizing agent in various chemical processes.
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Yes, in combustion, oxygen acts as the oxidizing agent because it gains electrons from the fuel being burned. In corrosion, however, oxygen acts as the oxidizing agent as it accepts electrons from the metal, causing it to corrode or rust.
