Assertion: Fluorine exists only in `-1` oxidation state. Reason: Fluorine has `2s^(2)2p^(5)`configuration.A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explantion of the assertion.C. If assertion is true but reason is false.D. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
It is correct that fluorine exists only in `-1` oxidation state because it has `1S^(2)2p^(5)` electronic configuration and thus shows only `-1` oxidation state in order to complete its octet. Hence, both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
