Single Choice
Assertion: Fluorine exists only in $$-1$$ oxidation state. Reason: Fluorine has $$2s^22p^5$$ configuration
AIf both assertion and reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
Correct Answer
BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
CIf the assertion is true but reason is false
DIf both the assertion and reason are false
Solution
The atomic number of flourine is 9 with electronic configuration:$$[He]{ 2s }^{ 2 }{ 2p }^{ 5 }$$
p orbital can hold only 6 electrons.
Flourine already has 5 electrons and has their is vacency for only 1 electrons.
Hence, it can accpt only 1 electron.
So. oxidation state is -1.
