Which halogen oxidizes water at room temperature but does not undergo disproportionation into it?

Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Fluorine oxidizes water at room temperature but does not undergo disproportionation into it while other halogens can do that as follows
$F_{2} + H_{2} O \to 2 H F + \frac{1}{2} O_{2}$
$C l_{2} + H_{2} O \to H C l + H O C l$
$B r_{2} + H_{2} O \to H B r + H O B r$
$I_{2} + H_{2} O \to$ No reaction $[Δ G > 0$ at room temperature].
