Answer:
a) The ability of fluorine to stabilize the highest oxidation state is attributed to the higher lattice energy or high bond enthalpy.
b)Co2+ has three unpaired electrons so it would be paramagnetic in nature, hence Co2+ ion would be attracted to the magnetic field.
c) The transition elements of the 5d series have 4f orbitals which offer 5d electrons very weak shielding from nuclear force. Hence there is greater effective nuclear charge acting on outer valence electrons. Hence first ionisation energy of 5 d series of transition elements is higher than that of 3d and 4d series
