Question:medium
Statement-1: Under certain conditions, the covalency of oxygen can be up to 4. In \( \text{SO}_2 \), the oxidation state of oxygen is \( -2 \) and in \( \text{OF}_2 \), the oxidation state of oxygen is \( +2 \). Statement-2: The anomalous behaviour of oxygen in the 16th group is due to its small size and high electronegativity.
