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
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: C.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
c
Highest occupied molecular orbital ($HOMO$) $\Rightarrow \pi^*$ Lowest unoccupied molecular orbital ($LUMO$) $\Rightarrow \sigma^*$ On descending the group gap between $\pi^*$ and $\sigma^*$ decreases.

A trinitro compound, $1, 3,5$ tris-($4$-nitrophenyl) benzene, on complete reaction with an excess of $\mathrm{Sn} / \mathrm{HCl}$ gives major product, which on treatment with an excess of $NaNO_2 /  HCl$ at $0^{\circ} C$ provides $P$ as the product. $P$, upon treatment with excess of $H_2 O$ at room temperature, gives the product $Q$. Bromination of $Q$ in aqueous medium furnishes the product $R$. The compound $P$ upon treatment with an excess of phenol under basic conditions gives the product $S$.

The molar mass difference between compounds $Q$ and $R$ is $474 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ and between compounds $P$ and $S$ is $172.5 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.
