The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of elements from the given list that show only one non-zero oxidation state, we will analyze each element individually. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Elements**: The elements provided are O (Oxygen), C (Carbon), F (Fluorine), N (Nitrogen), P (Phosphorus), Sn (Tin), Tl (Thallium), Na (Sodium), Ti (Titanium). 2. **Analyze Each Element for Oxidation States**: - **Oxygen (O)**: - Common oxidation states: -2 (most common), -1 (in peroxides), +2 (in OF2), and +4 (in compounds like O2Cl2). - **Conclusion**: More than one oxidation state. - **Carbon (C)**: - Common oxidation states: -4, +2, +4. - **Conclusion**: More than one oxidation state. - **Fluorine (F)**: - Common oxidation state: -1 (it is the most electronegative element and does not show any positive oxidation state). - **Conclusion**: Only one oxidation state (-1). - **Nitrogen (N)**: - Common oxidation states: -3, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5. - **Conclusion**: More than one oxidation state. - **Phosphorus (P)**: - Common oxidation states: -3, +3, +5. - **Conclusion**: More than one oxidation state. - **Tin (Sn)**: - Common oxidation states: +2, +4. - **Conclusion**: More than one oxidation state. - **Thallium (Tl)**: - Common oxidation states: +1, +3. - **Conclusion**: More than one oxidation state. - **Sodium (Na)**: - Common oxidation state: +1 (as an alkali metal, it shows only this state). - **Conclusion**: Only one oxidation state (+1). - **Titanium (Ti)**: - Common oxidation states: +2, +3, +4. - **Conclusion**: More than one oxidation state. 3. **Count the Elements with Only One Non-Zero Oxidation State**: - From the analysis, the elements showing only one non-zero oxidation state are: - Fluorine (F) with -1 - Sodium (Na) with +1 4. **Final Count**: - Total number of elements showing only one non-zero oxidation state = 2 (Fluorine and Sodium). ### Answer: The number of elements showing only one non-zero oxidation state is **2**. ---
