Fluorine exhibit only – 1 oxidation state whereas other halogens exhibit +ve oxidation states also. Explain why ?

Fluorine exhibits only - 1 oxidation state , whereas other halogens exhibit +1,+3,+5and +7 oxidation states . Explain.

Fluorine exhibits only - 1 oxidation state whereas other halogens exhibit positive oxidation states such as +1, +3, +5, +7.

Fluorine exhibits only - 1 oxidation state whereas other halogens exhibit +1, +3, +5 and +7 oxidation states also. Explain.

Fluorine exhibits only -1 oxidation state whereas other halogens exhibit +1, +3, +5 and +7 oxidation states also. Explain.

(a) Halogens have maximum negative gain enthalpy in the respective periods of the periodic table. Why? (b) Although electron gain enthalpy of fluorine is less negative as compared to chlorine, fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine . Why? Fluorine exhibits only-1 oxidation state, whereas other halogens exhibit +1,+3,+5, and +7 oxidation states also. Explain.

Fluorine exhibits only -1 oxidation state whereas other halogens show +1, +3, +5 and +7 oxidation states also. Explain.
