MHT CET2016Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 15, 16, 17 & 18)
What is the highest oxidation state exhibited by Group-17 elements?
Options
- A+ 1
- B+ 3
- C+ 5
- D+ 7
Correct answer
D. + 7
Step-by-step solution
General electronic configuration of 17-group elements is n s 2 n p 5 . Except fluorine all other atoms can lose 7 electrons so, the highest oxidation state by Group-17 elements is +7.
