Options
- AOxygen in water is oxidized, and fluorine in F 2 is reduced.
- BFluorine in F 2 is oxidized, and oxygen in water is reduced.
- CBoth oxygen in water and fluorine in F 2 are oxidized.
- DBoth oxygen in water and fluorine in F 2 are reduced.
Correct answer
A. Oxygen in water is oxidized, and fluorine in F 2 is reduced.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Oxygen in water is oxidized, and fluorine in F 2 is reduced.
