Consider the reacton of water with `F_(2)` and suggest, in terms of oxidation and reduction, which species are oxidised/reduced.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The reaction between of a redox reaction as water is gettting oxidized to fluroine is being reduced to fluoride ion.
The oxdation number of various species can be represented as:

Fluorine is redcued from zero to (-1) oxidation state. A decrease in oxidation state indicates the reduction of fluorine.
Water is oxidised from (-2) to zero oxidation state. An increase in oxidation state indicates oxidation of water.
