Solution
All the elements of the halogen family exhibit -1 oxidation state. However, elements such as chlorine, bromine, and iodine also show +1, +3, +5 and +7 state.
in the positive oxidation number of Xe is perxenate ion XeO4−6 is eight.
Hence only O , Cl, Br, I and Xe shows positive oxidation state .
