Answer 2

Answer:

-1 IS THE RIGHT ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION

Explanation:

All halogens possess the oxidation state 0 in their diatomic forms. Fluorine exhibits the oxidation states of −1 (F− ion) and +1 (hypofluorous acid). The principal oxidation states of chlorine, bromine, and iodine are −1, +1, +3, +5, and +7. The oxyacids are compounds in which halogen atoms are joined to oxygen atoms
