1.	Consider the reaction of water with F_2 and suggest in terms of oxidation and reduction, which species are oxidised reduced.
Answer» Solution :`2F_(2(g)) + 2H_(2)O_((l)) to O_(2(g)) + 4H_((AQ))^(+) + 4F_((aq))^(-)`Reduction/oxidation In above reaction water act as a REDUCING agent so, it accept oxygen while fluorine act a oxidising agent. It release Fluorine ion `(F^-)` .
