According to my textbook and also Wikipedia, fluorine nitrate is a compound which can be created (though it is unstable). Also my textbook says that fluorine has a $+1$ oxidation state. But how is $+1$ state of fluorine possible?
I read in another textbook that fluorine can only show $0$ and $-1$ oxidation states (even Wikipedia says so).
Can someone explain as to how fluorine nitrate exists with a $+1$ oxidation state of fluorine?
