Answer 1

Lower the Standard Reduction Potential means weaker strength as oxidizing agent. Among the halogens iodine has lower Standard Reduction Potential (0.536 V). So, iodine is weakest oxidant.

Higher the Standard Reduction Potential means greater strength as oxidizing agent. Among the halogens fluorine has higher Standard Reduction Potential (2.87 V). So, it is strongest oxidant.
