Statement 1: In , bromine has the oxidation number -1.
Statement 2: Electron affinity of chlorine is greater than that of fluorine.
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Fluorine is always -1 in compounds, so in bromine is +5, not -1 - I is incorrect. II is correct: chlorine's electron affinity exceeds fluorine's because fluorine's small 2p subshell repels the incoming electron strongly. Hence (d).
