Answer:
(a) Because fluorine is more
electronegative than oxygen, hence binary compounds of oxygen and fluorine
should be called oxygen fluoride and not fluorine oxide.
(b) (i) small
size (ii) high
(iii) high electro
negativity (iv) diatomic
(c) Properties
of oxygen are different from the rest of the elements of group -16. This is called
anomalous behavior of oxygen. Due to small size, high ionisation
enthalpy,
high electro
negativity and absence of d-orbital oxygen shows anomalous behaviour,
