How does the reducing ability of halide ions vary?
The reducing ability of halide ions increases as we go down the group because the size of the ions increases down the group meaning the outer shell electron that gets lost when the ion is oxidised is further away from the nucleus so is less strongly attracted to it meaning it is lost more easily.
