Oxygen exhibits positive oxidation state in

Question

Oxygen exhibits positive oxidation state in (A)  CO  (B)  F2O  (C)  NO  (D)  N2O

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Oxygen shows positive oxidation state only in its compounds with more electronegative element. Since F is more electronegative than oxygen, the oxidation state of O in F2O is +2.
