Answer:

Fluorine is relatively smaller in size and is the element with high electro-negative property in periodic table. ... For fluorine to exhibit any positive oxidation state it has to be bonded to a negative element even higher than it which is not possible, thus fluorine does not exhibit any positive oxidation state.

Fluorine has highest electronegativity through out the periodic table, that's why it does not show positive oxidation state.
