$HOF$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Fluorine is the most electronegative element and has a small atomic size. Due to the absence of $d$-orbitals and its high electronegativity,it cannot exhibit positive oxidation states except in the case of $HOF$ (hypofluorous acid).In $HOF$,the oxidation state of fluorine is $-1$,while oxygen is in the $-2$ state and hydrogen is in the $+1$ state. Other oxoacids like $HFO_2$,$HFO_3$,and $HFO_4$ do not exist because fluorine cannot expand its octet or accommodate positive oxidation states required for these structures.
