MCQ
Which of the following statements is correct about halogens?
  • A
    They are all capable of exhibiting more than one oxidation states.
  • B
    They are all diatomic and form diatomic ions.
  • They are all diatomic and form univalent ions.
  • D
    They are all reducing agents.

Answer

Correct option: C.
They are all diatomic and form univalent ions.
Halogens are all diatomic and form univalent ions. All halogens can act as both oxidizing and reducing agents and are capable of exhibiting more than one stable oxidation state except $F.$
