1.	Consider the elements : Cs, Ne, I and F (a) Identify the element that exhibits only negative oxidation state. (b) Identify the element that exhibits only positive oxidation state. ( c) Identify the element that exhibits both positive and negative oxidation states. (d) Identify the element which exhibits neither the negative nor does the positive oxidation state.
Answer» Solution :(a) F element exhibits only in NEGATIVE oxidation state. (B) CS element exhibits only in positive oxidation state. ( c) .I. can be in both positive and negative oxidation state. .L. has -1, +1, +3, +5, +7 oxidation number. (d) Ne has zero oxidation state. It does not exhibits negative or positive oxidation state.
