MCQ
Fluorine does not show positive oxidation states because:
- ✓It is most electronegative element.
- BIt forms only anions in ionic compounds.
- CIt cannot form multiple bonds.
- DIt shows non$-$bonded electron pair repulsion due to small size.
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
It is most electronegative element.
Fluorine is the most electronegative element so it cannot show positive oxidation state.
