Yes, fluorine is more reactive than carbon. In fact, fluorine is the most reactive of all the chemical elements. It is never found uncombined in nature. Carbon, however, can be found free in nature in the form of graphite and also diamond. Additionally, carbon is the cornerstone of life as we know it. It is present in all living things, and exists in myriad chemical compounds, both naturally occurring ones and ones created in the laboratory.

∙ 13y agoNo. Florine has the highest electronegativity of any element. Almost always, or always found in combination with some other element. Carbon has pure forms.

Why flourine is most reactive?
The thing that makes fluorine so reactive is its electronegativity.
What will displace bromine from aqueous calcium bromide?
Something more reactive than bromine. Chlorine or fluorine would do it.
What is more reactive CO2 or CO?
CO is more reactive than CO2. This is because CO has a single bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, which makes the oxygen more readily available for reactions. CO2, on the other hand, has double bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms, making it less reactive.
What two processes are used to extract metals?
There are 3 means of extracting metals that are used more than any others and they are: Reduction with carbon: An ore of a metal which is less reactive than carbon is heated with carbon and the more reactive carbon will separate the metallic element from its ore e.g extraction of Iron in a blast furnace Electrolysis: An electrical current is passed through a solution of the metal ore and the metal is split from its ore and collects at an electrode, this is done for metals more reactive than carbon Extraction by other metals: As some metals are more reactive than the other this can be used to split up the metallic ore, an example of this is the extraction of Titanium which involves the use of several other more reactive metals.
Is mercury more reactive than zinc?
Zinc is more reactive than mercury.
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.
Why fluorine is more reactive than oxygen?
No, fluorine is the most reactive element that exists.
What is more reatice fluorine or chlorine?
Fluorine is more reactive than chlorine.
Is fluorine more reactive than arsenic?
Yes
Is fluorine more reactive than chlorine?
yes
Will fluorine replace iodine in a reaction?
Yes. Fluorine is more reactive than iodine.
Is fluorine more reactive than acylchloride?
No, acyl chloride is very reactive as both an electrophile or a nucleophile. Fluorine is just very electronegative.
Is Carbon more reactive than Phosphorus or vice versa?
carbon is more reactive
Is carbon 12 more reactive than carbon 14?
Carbon with a mass of 14 is more reactive. It is an isotope. but i don't know exactly why it is more reactive..
What element is less reactive than potassium but more reactive than carbon?
Sodium
Why chlorine is highly reactive than other halogens?
It isn't. Fluorine is more reactive. However, Chlorine is more reactive than Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. It is all to do with molecular size. Fluorine wants to get to a stable 10 electrons to be like Neon more than Chlorine wants to get to get 18 lectrons to be like Argon. This is because the valence/bonding electrons are closer to the nucleus in Fluorine than they are Chlorine and thus more strongly attracted.
Is carbon more reactive than phosphorus?
NO, not in their pure form. Phosphorus is much more reactive.
