Which of the following is NOT an anomalous property of the period 2 elements? Select one: Oa. The oxidizing ability of fluorine and oxygen allows them to form strong covalent bonds O b. They are less reactive towards H,0 than their heavier congeners Oc. They are capable of forming strong pi bonds due to good overlap of the 2p orbitals O d. They are less metallic than their heavier congeners and have high ionization energies
