When fluorine reacts with ice, following chemical
reaction takes place
H2O(s) + F2(g) → HF(g) + HOF(9)
The oxidation state of fluorine changes from
[NCERT Pg. 268]
(1) O to -1
(2) O to +1
(3) -1 to 0
(4) +1 to 0

Explanation:
It is a kind of redox reaction in which both oxidation and reduction occur.
as F2 is a pure element it's oxidation no is 0
in case of HF oxidation no of F will be -1.
in case of HOF oxidation no of F will be +1.
so we can say that when F2 changes to HF then oxidation no is from 0 to -1
when F2 changes to HOF then oxidation no is from 0 to +1.
so two ans are possible
hope it helps ☺

Answer:
yes, it can be +1 or -1 but according to some books the correct answer is 0 to -1....not 0 to +1 so please write the answer 0 to -1..this is correct
