Given below are two statements.
Statement I: All halogen exhibits 
and +7 oxidation states.
Statement II: The hydrolysis of 
lead to a redox reaction.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
• I is false: Fluorine (a halogen) cannot show positive oxidation states; hence not all halogens exhibit 
oxidation states.
• II is false: Hydrolysis of 
replaces Xe-F by -OH/-O but Xe stays at . +6 , so no change in oxidation number → not a redox reaction (redox requires change in oxidation state).
