Assertion: Amongest the halogens, fluorine can oxidise the elements to the highest oxidation- state.
Reason: Due to small size of fluoride ion, it is difficult to oxidise fluoride ion to fluorine. Hence reverse reaction takes place more easily.

A

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 si a correct explanation for statement 2

B

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true, statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 2

C

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false

D

Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Fluorine is a strong oxidising agent than other halogen due to highest electronegativity.

Statement-1: the highest oxidation state of transition metal is exhibited in its oxide or fluoride only. Statement-2: Small size and high electronegativity of O and F can oxidise the metal to its highest oxidation state.

All the noble gases are colourless and tasteless monoatomic gases. In general, noble gases are least reactive and their inertness to chemical reactivity is attributed to the following reasons. Reactive and their inertness to chemical reactivity is attributed to the following reasons. (i)Except helium, all have completely filled ns^(2)np^(6) electronic configuration in their valence shells. (ii)All have high ionisation enthalpy and more positive electron gain enthalpy. However, a number of xenon compounds mainly with most electronegative elements like fluorine and oxygen have been synthesized under different conditions and fluorides of xenon have been used as an oxidising agent and a fluorinating agent in many of the chemical reactions Select the correct statement.
