Which is more reactive fluorine or nitrogen?

Fluorine is the most reactive element period. So, it is therefore more reactive than carbon. However, as carbon forms the basis of organic molecules, people come across its compounds more often.

Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because?

Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane


Why is fluoride ion larger than the fluorine atom?

The addition of an electron in Fluorine atom makes it fluoride ion so no of electrons are higher than protons , the extra electron produces repulsive force in outermost shell and electrons move away from nucleus and hence radius of electronic cloud is larger than fluorine atom.


Why standard reduction potential of fluorine is greater than cl2?

Fluorine and chlorine both need to gain electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration of 8 electrons in their outer shell, but fluorine is the smaller atom. As atoms get larger, their ability to attract electrons is reduced and they become more metallic in nature and less nonmetallic, because the outer shells of the electrons are farther from the positively charged nucleus, and even though the nucleus of larger atoms also has a larger positive charge, the increase in charge has less effect than the increase in distance, because charge is a direct proportionality and distance is an inversely squared proportionality. Distance matters more. So fluorine has the greater attraction for electrons, or as you put it, it has the greater reduction potential.


What is Flourine Made of?
