Fluroine does not show variable Oxidation State why
  • 2 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years ago

Fluorine is the most electronegative element and cannot exhibit any positive oxidation state. Other halogens have d orbitals and therefore, can expand their octets and show + 1, + 3, + 5 and + 7 oxidation states also.

Fluorine has no d-orbitals (2d orbitals) and there is no scope for any electron promotion. Therefore, fluorine can show only oxidation state of -1 in its compounds.
