An oxidizing agent is a substance that oxidized the substance that oxidizes the substance it is reacting with and it is itself reduced.
Li+ is already in its ionic state and will not react; however, fluorine is a strong oxidizing agent. It has a strong tendency to become reduced and form the F- ion, while oxidizing the other substance.
