with
(i) CI
(ii) F
(iii) Br​

Answer 1

Among halogens, iodine exhibits a maximum positive oxidation state  with fluorine.

Explanation:

• The most electronegative element among halogens and in the periodic table is Fluorine.
• It is represented by symbol F.
• It is also a very stable compound.
• An electronegative element is that that has the ability to attract electrons towards itself.
• The electronegative value of fluorine is 3.98 which is maximum.
• Other halogens exhibit positive states such as +1, +3, +5, +7, etc.
