What is the oxidation number of O in O_(2)F_(2) ?

1.	What is the oxidation number of O in O_(2)F_(2) ?
Answer» `-2` `-1` 1 `+2` SOLUTION :In `O_(2)F_(2)`, F is more electronegative than O so, OXIDATION no. of F is -1 `O_(2)F_(2)rArr2(O)+2(F)=0` `therefore2(O)+2(-1)=0` `therefore2(O)=+2` `thereforeO=2/2=+1`
