Question

( I ) F₂ shows disproportionation reactions
( II ) F₂ is the weakest oxidising agent and it is always reduced.

Easy

A

I and II both are true
B

I is true and II is false
C

I is false and II is true
D

I and II are false

Solution

Disproportionation is a specific type of redox reaction in which a species is simultaneously reduced and oxidized to form two different products.
As fluorine shows an oxidation of only -1 and has a tendency to reduce, it doesn't undergo disproportionation reaction.
Fluorine gas is the strongest oxidizing agent because of these factors:-
Very high electron gain enthalpy
Low bond dissociation enthalpy
Highest electronegativity and small size
Small size
