MCQ
Assertion : Fluorine exists only in $-\,1$ oxidation state.

Reason : Fluorine has $2s^2\,2p^5$ configuration.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
