Assertion (A): Fluorine being most electronegative element its oxidation state is -1. Reason(R) : Fluorine never shows disproportionate reaction.

(a) : Generally, molecularity of simple reactions is equal to the sum of the number of molecules of reactants involved in the balanced stoichiometric equation. Thus, a reaction involving two...

(b) it is very strongly electronegative

(i) Fluorine does not exhibit any positive oxidation state as it is the most electro-negative element and does not have d orbitals in its valance shell. (ii) This is due to...

(i) This is because fluorine is most electronegative element and does not have d-orbitals in its valence shell.  (ii) Due to vary high ionisation enthalpy helium does not form any real...

The oxidation number of F isbeing changed from 0 to -1 &+ 1. So it is a redox reaction.

(c)Correct explanation: F has greater tendency than Cl to attract the shared pair of electrons of a covalent bond.

(a)Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of the A.

(b)Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of the A.

(a) The stability of a particular oxidation state depends upon the nature of the element with which the transition metal forms the compound. Mn forms a stable oxide Mn2O7. This...
