Assertion : In some cases oxygen shows positive oxidation number though it is an electronegative element. Reason : Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen.
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Oxygen is the most electronegative element after fluorine. Therefore, in the compounds between oxygen and fluorine, oxygen is found to show positive oxidation state. e.g. : Oxygen difluoride. Oxidation state of oxygen here is +2 .
