Yes! One of the reasons is that Flourine has 7 valence electrons, meaning that it 'wants' to accept an electron (oxidizing) from the reducing agent more than Oxygen 'wants' to.

Is fluorine combustible?
Yes it is flammable!. Fluorine gas is the most reactive of all the elements and quickly attacks all metals - steel wool bursts into flames when exposed to it! there u go! im sure you wanted to know this so there you go kids or adults.
Is flourine a metal or nonmetal?
Like all of the halogens, Fluorine is very much a nonmetal.
How much stronger is Jupiter's storm than earth's storm?
a lot stronger
Why is a nitrate ion a stronger base than a sulfide ion?
This is not true. The sulfide ion is a stronger base than the nitrate ion. This is because nitrogen and oxygen are very electronegative, This creates a stable anion with very little affinity for hydrogen ions. Sulfur is much less electronegative and so the sulfide ion is less stable. So it has a much higher affinity of a hydrogen ion.
What is much stronger magnitude or intensity?

Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen?
That is correct. Fluorine is the most electronegative element on the periodic table, meaning it has a strong ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond. Oxygen is also very electronegative but not as much as fluorine.
Does fluorine have weaker or stronger intermolecular forces than iodine?
It depends. If Fluorine is bonded to Hydrogen then it would be greater, having present Hydrogen Bonding-the strongest Intermolecular Force. Iodine,I2, has many more electrons than fluorine, F2,so London dispersion forces are much stronger explaining why fluorine is a gas and iodine is a solid under standard conditions.
What is the role of an oxidizer in a solid fuel system?
A solid rocket engine uses a fuel and an oxidizer. The oxidizer when burned delivers oxygen to the fuel so that it can burn. Most rockets use oxidizers because when the rocket burns it uses so much oxygen that they need a readily available supply.
Why is lead four iodide unknown?
Lead(IV) iodide, or PbI4 is unknown and not present, because Iodine is not that much strong oxidizer to oxidize Lead or Lead(II) ions to Lead(IV) ions. However, Oxygen and Fluorine have this oxidizing power, and thus forming compounds of Lead(IV).

With a oxidizer can methane gas be a space rocket propellant?
Absolutely. Various rocket fuels are rated in "Specific Impulse", which is how much kick you get for how much fuel mass (or weight). This strongly influences the choice of fuels. Hydrogen and Oxygen is VERY high. Methane and Oxygen....not so much.
How much does a gallon of fluorine cost?
As of August 2014, the cost for a gallon of fluorine is $25,600. Fluorine is not generally available for purchase by the public.
What is the strongest oxidizing agent?
Fluorine gas (F2) is considered one of the strongest oxidizing agents due to its high electronegativity and ability to readily accept electrons in chemical reactions. It is highly reactive and can oxidize almost all other elements.
What is the structure of TfOH?
Triflic acid, or TfOH, has a molecular formula of CF3SO3H. It is a strong acid with a trifluoromethyl group bonded to a sulfonyl group. The structure consists of a central sulfur atom surrounded by three fluorine atoms and a hydroxyl group attached to the sulfur.
Is flourine a metal or nonmetal?
Like all of the halogens, Fluorine is very much a nonmetal.
Which bond is strongest hydrogen bonding or polar bonding?
Hydrogen bonding is typically stronger than polar bonding. Hydrogen bonding occurs specifically between hydrogen and small highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine, resulting in stronger attractions compared to the general electrostatic interactions in polar bonds.
Why do shuttles need a tank of oxygen?
If you mean on lift off, liquid oxygen is used to fuel the engines to get the shuttle into space. It reacts with liquid hydrogen to create the reaction needed to produce thrust. Normal air would not provide enough oxidizer for the rapid combustion in the shuttle engines. Much smaller tanks of oxygen are used to provide a pressurized living area for the crew to live in during the course of the mission.
