Feb 27, 2014 · It seems related to the atomic size but hydrogen has a smaller atomic size than fluorine. Why is fluorine the most electronegative atom?

Nov 12, 2013 · Fluorine, though higher than chlorine in the periodic table, has a very small atomic size. This makes the fluoride anion so formed unstable (highly reactive) due to a very high …

Apr 13, 2021 · 7 What is the nature of the reaction of attack of fluorine gas on aluminium metal? Is it spontaneous in nature? I have studied reactions of halogens on aluminium, but it had no …

Aug 30, 2016 · What should be the oxidation state of $\\ce{F}$ in $\\ce{HOF}$. As fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table, it should be $-1$. But when I googled it, I …

Apr 27, 2018 · Why only fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen can form hydrogen-bonds with the hydrogen of another molecule?

May 22, 2015 · However, I'm confused with the fluoride ion having a charge of -1 and fluorine only occurring as a diatomic molecule ($\ce {F2}$). Is $\ce {F2}$ two fluoride ions or just one?

In this case, the formation of fluorine-containing products is generally much more thermodynamically favourable than that of the corresponding iodine-containing products.

Jan 3, 2017 · The partial charges on the fluorine and carbon are attractive, contributing to the unusual bond strength of the carbon–fluorine bond. The bond is labeled as " the strongest in …

Dec 18, 2023 · 6 Fluorine in hydrogen fluoride can form only a limited amount of hydrogen bonds because there is only one (protic) hydrogen atom per fluorine. Ammonium fluoride has enough …

Jul 20, 2014 · The electronic structure of a fluorine atom is $\ce {1s^2 2s^2 2p^5}$. There is a strong driving force for atoms to attain an octet (achieve an inert gas configuration) due to the …
