What is the highest oxidation state exhibited by group 17 elements ?

A

`+1`

B

`+3`

C

`+5`

D

`+7`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The highest oxidation state exhibited by group 17 elements is + 7. The elements that belong to the group 17 are called halogens. All elements of this group have seven electrons in their outermost shell. So, these elements can lose seven electrons to get +7 oxidation state.
