Question

Why is the oxidation state of oxygen in hypifluorous acid is zero?

Answer 1

Heyy

Answer:

=] Hypofluorous acid, chemical formula HOF, is the only known oxoacid of fluorine and the only known oxoacid which the main atom gains electrons from oxygen to create a negative oxidation state. The oxidation state of the oxygen in hypofluorites is 0. It is also the only hypohalous acid that can be isolated as a solid.✨✨

Thanks ☺️❤️

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:-

$.$

It's also important to remember that in a pure element, the oxidation number is 0, by definition. So, in O2, both oxygen atoms have oxidation number 0, just as both fluorines in F2 have 0, and so on.
