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?
intermolecular forces - Why does fluorine form only one hydrogen …
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 …
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 …
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.
Spontaneity and nature of attack of fluorine gas on aluminum
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 …
Why are there more fluoride compounds formed with xenon?
May 22, 2015 · Noble gases form compounds with fluorine and oxygen only because fluorine and oxygen are the most electronegative elements. Heavier noble gases (xenon and krypton) are …
inorganic chemistry - Why is fluorine more reactive than chlorine ...
Feb 16, 2017 · This is shielding. Lastly, fluorine is much smaller molecule than chlorine, and the shorter distance, or radius, between the nucleus and the electron again makes it more likely to …
