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.
