chlorine and iodine are halogens.
generally the elements placed higher in the halogen group are more reactive.so the oxidising degeree/power of chlorine is more than the
oxidising power/ degree of iodine

Although the outer shell electronic structure is the same, their is much more in the way of shielding of the nuclear force by the lower shell electrons in Iodine than chlorine.

Because it is located in a higher position in the periodic table. It is also more electronegative than iodine.
