Is F2 bond is stronger than Br2 ?
Yes F2 bond is stronger than Br2.we know that bond strength of bond depend inversely proportional bond length, hence atomic size of fluorine is smaller than bromine so that F-F bond is smaller than Br-Br bond.

Which is best known pseudohalide ?
The best
known pseudohalide is CN-.This resembles Cl- , Br- and I- in the following
respects:
(i) It forms an acid, HCN.
(ii) It can be oxidised to (CN)2 molecule.
(iii) It forms insoluble salts with Ag+, Pb2+ and Hg22+
(iv) It forms large number of complexes
similar to halide complexes,
e.g. [Cu (CN)4]2-
and [CuCl4]2, [Co(CN)6]3- and [CoCl6]3-
(v) Inter-pseudohalogen compounds
ClCN, BrCN and ICN can be formed.
(vi) AgCN is insoluble in water but
soluble in ammonia like AgCl.

What are the Pseudohalogens or halogenoids?
What are Pseudohalides ? and What is similarity with halides?
The ions consisting
of two or more electronegative atoms of which at least one is nitrogen, that
have properties similar to those of halide ions. These ions are called pseudohalide ions, Pseudohalide ions are
univalent and these form salts resembling halide salts. The pseudohalide ions
are :
Cyanide ions (CN-)
Isocyanide ion (NC-)
Cyanate ion (OCN-)
Fulminate ion (ONC-)
Thiocyanate ions(SCN-)
Isothiocyanate ion (NCS-)
Selenocyanate ion (SeCN-)
Tellurocyanate ion (TeCN-)
Azide ion (N3-) :
Azido carbon disulphide ion (SCSN-3)

How does the thermal stability of oxyacids of chlorine increase with an increase in the oxidation state of chlorine atom ?
The thermal stability of oxy acids of chlorine increase on increasing of oxidation number of chlorine atom because on addition of additional oxygen atoms, the number of (pπ-dπ) π-bonds increase which provide extra stability to the molecules. Oxy acids of chlorine and their number of pπ-dπ bonds given as:
Thus the overall stability of oxy acids of chlorine are given as:
"HClO < HClO2 < HClO3 < HClO4"
