What contributes to the ability of fluorine to stabilize the highest oxidation state in transition metals?
Options
- ALower lattice energy
- BLower bond enthalpy terms
- CHigher lattice energy
- DHigher covalent bond enthalpy terms
Correct answer
C. Higher lattice energy
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph mentions that the ability of fluorine to stabilize the highest oxidation state is due to higher lattice energy in the case of compounds like CoF3.
