Question

Assertion (A): OF2 is named oxygen difluoride and is classed as a fluoride of oxygen, not as an oxide. Reason (R): fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen and is always assigned -1, so oxygen in OF2 has oxidation number +2.

Accepted Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer

A is true but R is false

Answer

A is false but R is true

Assertion (A): $OF X_{2}$ is named oxygen difluoride and is classed as a fluoride of oxygen, not as an oxide. Reason (R): fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen and is always assigned $- 1$ , so oxygen in $OF X_{2}$ has oxidation number $+ 2$ .
