(a) F. Fluorine being the most electronegative element shows only a -ve oxidation state of -1.
(b) Cs. Alkali metals because of the presence of a single electron in the valence shell, exhibit an oxidation state of +1.
(c) I. Because of the presence of seven electrons in the valence shell, I shows an oxidation state of -1 (in compounds of I with more electropositive elements such as H, Na, K, Ca, etc.) or an oxidation state of +1 compounds of I with more electronegative elements, i.e., O, F, etc.) and because of the presence of d-orbitals it also exhibits +ve oxidation states of +3, +5 and +7.
(d) Ne. It is an inert gas (with high ioni

The unbalanced chemical reaction is:
Mn3+ (aq) → Mn2+ (aq) + MnO2? (s) + H+ (aq)
The oxidation half reaction is,
Mn3+ (aq) → MnO2? (s).
To balance oxidation number, one electron is added on R.H.S.
Mn3+ (aq) → MnO2? (s) + e−
4 protons are added to balance the charge.
Mn3+ (aq) → MnO2? (s) + 4H+ (aq) + e−
2 water molecules are added to balance O atoms.
The reduction half reaction is Mn3+ (aq) → Mn2+ (aq).
An electron is added to balance oxidation number.
Mn3+ (aq) + e− → Mn2+ (aq)
Two half-cell reactions are added to obtain balanced chemical equation.
2Mn3+ (aq) + 2H2? O (l) → Mn2+ (aq) + MnO2? (s) + 4H+ (aq)

Let x be the O.N. of C.
O.N. of C in cyanogen, (CN)2 = 2 (x – 3) = 0 or x = +3
O.N. of C in cyanide ion, CN- = x – 3 = -1 or x = +2
O.N. of C in cyanate ion, CNO =x-3-2 = -l or x: = +4
The four information about the reaction are:
(i) The reaction involves decomposition of cyanogen, (CN)2 in the alkaline medium to cyanide ion, CN and cyanate ion, CNO–.
(ii) The O.N. of C decreases from +3 in (CN)2 to +2 in CN–ion and increases from +3 in (CN)2 to +4 in CNO– ion. Thus, cyanogen is simultaneously reduced to cyanide ion and oxidised to cyanate ion.
(iii) It is an example of a redox reaction in general an

5.27. (c) At high altitudes atmospheric pressure is low. Therefore, liquids at high altitudes boil at lower temperatures in comparison to that at sea level. Since water boils at low temperature on hills, the pressure cooker is used for cooking food. In hospitals surgical instruments are sterilized in autoclaves in which boiling point of water is increased by increasing the pressure above the atmospheric pressure by using a weight covering the vent.
