The two possibilities brought forth in the Note are (1) assign hydrogen +1, oxygen -2, and fluorine +1 or (2) assign H +1, oxy- gen 0, and fluorine -1. On the grounds that HOFHOF is a powerful oxidizing agent, the conclusion reached in the Note is that (1) should be favored.

hey mate

Let's start by assuming hydrogen will be +1 and oxygen will be -2....By summing the numbers the number of the product of atoms and the oxidation level of each we have +4 due to hydrogen and and -4 due to oxygen.

hope it may help you
