Fluorine does not exhibit variable oxidation states due to

Question

Fluorine does not exhibit variable oxidation states due to (A) its high electronegativity (B) smallest size of its atom (C) low bond dissociation energy (D) non availability of vacant d-orbitals

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Fluorine has no vacant d-orbitals so no electron excitation is possible and so it does not exhibit variable oxidation states .

Q. Fluorine does not exhibit variable oxidation states due to
