flourine is always given -1 oxidation state .................................even if this is not right ...............................it cannot have a positive oxidation state...................isnt it right???????????????

FLOURINE does not form oxyacids
hence your compound is imaginary,or if you've reaally made it go for the
patent

HOF does exist. Oxidation state of F is -1 and that of oxygen is 0

HOF isnt an imaginary compound. it exists!!

Remember Cedric. Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.

The oxidation state of oxygen is ?2 in almost all known compounds of oxygen. The oxidation state ?1 is found in a few compounds such as peroxides. Compounds containing oxygen in other oxidation states are very uncommon: ?1/2 (superoxides), ?1/3 (ozonides), 0 (elemental, hypofluorous acid), +1/2 (dioxygenyl), +1 (dioxygen difluoride), and +2 (oxygen difluoride).

ARRE YAAR..........DONT BLAME SUM1 FOR NOT KNOWING....THE COMPOUND....
ITS IN NCERT ......Bcoz hypochlorous acid is more widely known...

@ amit ....
yes it does exist hypoflurous acid ........HOF
and about your oxidation state
F has -1 and oxygen has 0....

aur yaar its funny that you associate a +1 state with the most electronegative element.......

and HOf is highly explosive in nature ....so we generally dont hang around with it.....lol....
cheers
