Question

In the reaction: $F_2+\frac{1}{2}{O}_2\to O{F}_2$, oxygen is an oxidant.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

• A. 0

Answer 1

The correct option is A 0
In the reaction: $F_2+\frac{1}{2}{O}_2\to O{F}_2$, oxygen is a reductant.

The oxidation number of $F$ changes from $0$ to $-1$ and the oxidation number of oxygen changes from $0$ to $+2$.
Thus, $F$ is reduced and oxygen is oxidized.
