It is an element because it consists entirely of atoms of the same type (having the same number of protons).
F2 is an element, specifically a molecule of fluorine gas. It is not a mixture because it is a pure substance composed of only one type of atom bonded together.
F2 is fluorine, which is an element, not a compound.
F2 is an element. It's the diatomic form of fluorine, a highly reactive and toxic gas that you definitely don't want to mess with. So, in conclusion, F2 is an element, not a compound. Stay safe and don't go huffing fluorine gas!
No, F2 is covalent but it is an element, not a compound.
Fluorine (atomic symbol F) is an element. In its pure form it is a gas: F2, a diatomic molecule.
If you mean F2 (fluorine), it is a diatomic molecule of the element fluorine. It's the common form of pure fluorine, since the halogen elements are all diatomic molecules.
The oxidation number of fluorine in the fluorine molecule (F2) is 0. In a molecule composed of the same element (like F2), each atom has an oxidation number of 0.
F2 (fluorine) is an element and thus a pure substance. However a compound is a pure substance as well.
Fluorine (F) is an element by itself on the periodic table, and when two fluorine atoms combine to form a diatomic molecule (F2), it is still considered an element because it consists of only one type of atom - fluorine.
H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, and I2
NO. Any molecule made up of atoms of the same element is covalently bonded.
There is NO equation for fluorine. Its chemical formulae is ' F2 '. It is a component of an equation when it is being reacted with another substance. e.g. H2(g) + F2(g) = 2HF(g) This is a reaction equation because it has an 'equals(=)' sign. N.B. As 'F2' there is no 'equals sign' so it is NOT an equation.
