Assertion(A): Fluorine exists only in -1...

Assertion(A): Fluorine exists only in `-1` oxidation state.
Reason(R): Fluorine has `2s^(2)2p^(5)`configuration.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Fluorine exists only in -1 oxidation state because it is highly electronegative element.
