Answers

Oxygen being small in size, highly electronegative, and non-availability of valence electrons in d orbital oxygen shows anomalous behavior.

  • Oxygen is diatomic whereas others are polyatomic.
  • Oxygen is a gas while others are solid.
  • Oxygen shows negative oxidation states except in OF2
  • Oxygen is paramagnetic while others are diamagnetic.
