The Halogen that is most likely easy to be oxidised would be the Iodine. In addition, the property that makes the Iodine ideal for oxidation is due to the fact that its d-orbital contains more electrons compared to other halogens such as fluorine where oxidation would tend to be difficult to occur on the element.
