Question

Nonmetals are a good oxidizing agent.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Nonmetals are good oxidizing agents since they gain electrons in their valence shells during chemical combination to complete the octet configuration (octet rule states that an element can gain or lose electrons to attain an electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas, the elements with completely filled valence shell are stable in nature).
