Which of the elements in the periodic table has properties most similar to fluorine?

Answer 1

Chlorine would be most similar to fluorine. They are in the same group of the Periodic Table, so they undergo the same types of reaction in general, and chlorine is the next most reactive after fluorine.

Answer 2

The element chlorine, which happens to be just below fluorine in the Periodic Table of the Elements, has chemical properties similar to fluorine. All the elements in a given vertical column have similar chemical properties.

The vertical Columns, also called groups are used in conjunction with periods (the readings horizontally) so that you can realize similarities between elements. Groups can help with multiple things such as the number of valence electrons (electrons on the outermost electron shell.

ex. Lithium-Group 1 (which is also called the alkali metals excluding hydrogen) has only 1 valence or outer most electron

Certain Elements are classified by their group:

ex. Halogens (group 17)

Noble Gases (18)

Alkali Metals (1)

Alkaline Earth Metals (2)

Answer 3

Any element, in the same group as fluorine, will have similar chemical properties. Since fluorine is group 7 these would be (in order of similarity) chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

Answer 4

Chlorine would be most chemically similar to fluorine. Chlorine is just below fluorine in the periodic table and it is a halogen as well with a similar outer electronic configuration.

Answer 5

it is actually bromine(Br):)

Answer 6

This element is chlorine.

Answer 7

Chlorine does.

Answer 8

chlorine

Answer 9

bromine
