Halogens electrode potential diagrams

Fluorine, the most electronegative element, adopts the -1 oxidation state in its compounds. The other halogens, when bonded to a more electronegative element such as oxygen, can have any one of several positive oxidation states +1, +3, +5, or +7. This variability of oxidation states, which was illustrated through electrode potential diagrams for chlorine (Fig. 22-4), is emphasized again by the oxoacids listed in Table 22.7. The structures of some of these... 

As in the corresponding discussion for the halogens (Section 22-3), oxidation-reduction chemistry is a primary concern here. To assist in this discussion, we provide electrode potential diagrams for some important sulfur-containing species in Figure 22-13.
