2)all forms monobasic oxyacids

3)all but flourine shows positive oxidation states

4)all are oxidising agents

Solution

(3) All but fluorine show positive oxidation states.

Due to high electronegativity and small size, F forms only one oxoacid, HOF known as Fluoric (I) acid. Oxidation number of F is +1 in HOF.
