Assertion (A): `F_(2)` undergoes disproportionation reaction.
Reason (R ): Fluorine shows both positive and negative oxidation states.

Options

A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.
B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct but `(R )` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.
C. If `(A)` is correct but `(R )` is incorrect.
D. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are incorrect.

Answer

D

Explanation

Correct `(A)`: `F_(2)` does not undergo disproportionation reacation.
Correct `(R )` : `F_(2)` shows only an oxidation of `-1`.
