1.	Consider the elements : Cs,Ne,I,F (A) Identify the element that exhibits -ve oxidation state (b) Identify the element that exhibits +ve oxidation state (c ) Identify the element that exhibits both +ve and -ve oxidation states (d) Identify the element which neither exhibits -ve nor +ve oxidation state
Answer» SOLUTION :(a) F fluorine beig the most elctrogative element show only a ve OXIDATION state of -1 (b) Cs alkali METALS because of the presence of a singel eletocn in the valence shell exhibit an oxidation state of +1 (c ) 1 because of th present of seven electrons in the valence shell i shows an oxidation state of -1 or an oxidation state of +1 and because of the presence of d orbitals it also exhibits +ve oxidation states of +3 +5 and +7 (d) NE it is insert gas and HENCE it neither exhibits -ve nor +e oxidation states
