What would be the order of the halogens from least reactive to most reactive

The standard reduction potential for halogens are given below

Halogens Standard Reduction Potential at 25 oC

I2(s) + 2 e– → 2 I–(aq) +0.535

Br2(l) + 2 e– → 2 Br–(aq) +1.066

Cl2(g) + 2 e– → 2 Cl–(aq) +1.358

F2(g) + 2 e– → 2 F–(aq) +2.870


Which statement is correct and explain

  1. Bromine will oxidize chloride ions
  2. Chlorine will oxidize bromide ions
