MCQ
Fluorine does not show variable oxidation states because $......?$
- AIt is a halogen.
- ✓Of absence of $d-$orbitals.
- CAbsence of $s-$orbital.
- DAbsence of $p-$orbitals.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Of absence of $d-$orbitals.
Fluorine cannot expand its octet due to absence of $d-$orbitals.
Therefore it cannot show variable oxidation states.
Therefore it cannot show variable oxidation states.
