With the help of the periodic table, you can find the strength of oxidising character of an element by remembering its trend.
Not only oxidising power you can find elements possess other properties given below:
Properties
Across the period
(left to right)
Down the group
(top to bottom)
Atomic size
Decreases
Increases
No. of valence electrons
Increases
Remains same
Metallic character
Decreases
Increases
Non-metallic character
Increases
Decreases
Electron affinity
Increases
Decreases
Electronegativity
Increases
Decreases
Ionisation energy
Increases
Decreases
Basic nature of oxides
Decreases
Increases
Melting point
Increases from Group I to Group IV and then decreases
Decreases in Groups I and II
Decreases in Groups III and IV
Increases in Groups V to VII
Boiling point
Increases from Group I to Group IV and then decreases
Decreases in Groups I and II
Decreases in Groups III and IV
Increases in Groups V to VII
Oxidising nature
Increases
Decreases
Reducing nature
