The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will evaluate each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Statement 1 **Statement 1:** Fluorine with sodium hydroxide solution does not undergo disproportionation reaction. - **Explanation:** Disproportionation is a type of redox reaction in which a single substance is both oxidized and reduced to form two different products. In the case of fluorine reacting with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), it does not undergo disproportionation. Instead, fluorine acts as a strong oxidizing agent and reacts with hydroxide ions to form fluoride ions and oxygen gas. ### Step 2: Understanding Statement 2 **Statement 2:** Fluorine has the highest SRP value, therefore, it is completely reduced only. - **Explanation:** The Standard Reduction Potential (SRP) is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to be reduced. Fluorine has the highest SRP value among all elements, which means it is very strong in terms of its ability to gain electrons and be reduced. However, this does not mean it cannot undergo disproportionation; it simply indicates that it is more likely to be reduced than to oxidize itself in reactions under standard conditions. ### Step 3: Evaluating the Truth of Each Statement - **Statement 1 is True:** Fluorine does not undergo disproportionation when reacting with sodium hydroxide. - **Statement 2 is True:** Fluorine does have the highest SRP value, indicating its strong oxidizing nature. ### Step 4: Analyzing the Relationship Between the Statements - Statement 2 provides a valid explanation for Statement 1. The high SRP value of fluorine indicates that it will not undergo disproportionation but will instead be reduced. ### Conclusion Both statements are true, and Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1. Therefore, the correct answer is: **Option A:** Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is also true, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
