  1. inorganic chemistry - Why is fluorine the most electronegative …

    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?

  2. Why does chlorine have a higher electron affinity than fluorine?

    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 …

  3. intermolecular forces - Why does fluorine form only one hydrogen …

    Dec 18, 2023 · 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 …

  4. halides - Why is fluorine more reactive than iodine despite the …

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

  5. Spontaneity and nature of attack of fluorine gas on aluminum

    Apr 13, 2021 · 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 …

  6. Is F2 two fluoride ions or just one? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    May 22, 2015 · The fluorine atom is far to reactive to exist on its own, so naturally it bonds with other atoms in its vicinity to stabilize itself. It should be noted that an atom is electrically …

  7. Oxidation state of fluorine in HOF - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Aug 30, 2016 · Fluorine’s oxidation state in HOF H O F is −I I as the theory says. Hydrogen’s is +I + I. This leaves oxygen with an oxidation state of ±0 ± 0. That final fact is where the oxidative …

  8. Why does a Fluoride ion only have a -1 charge and not a -2 …

    Jul 20, 2014 · Taking fluorine as an example, the electron configuration is: 1s22s22p5 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 5 We see that Z = 9 Z = 9 and S = 2 S = 2, giving an effective nuclear charge of +7. …

  9. Why is the carbon-fluorine bond stronger than the other …

    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 …

  10. inorganic chemistry - Does fluorine in FNO3 have +1 oxidation …

    Nov 9, 2016 · The fluorine is the most electronegetive element in the periodic table that's why it is given a permanent oxidation state of -1 (0 when it is in elemental form).Since I consider my …
