The electrons in the bond between hydrogen and fluorine are more strongly attracted to which atom?
They are more strongly attracted to the fluorine. We say that fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen.
How many more electrons can fit in the valence shell of a fluorine atom?
One
How many more electrons can fit within the valence shell of a fluorine atom?
One
What is the Empirical formula for calcium oxide?
The chemical formula for Calcium oxide is CaO. A single calcium atom bonds with a single oxygen atom to make this compound, and a link can be found below for more information.CaO
Fluorine has a higher electronegativity than Lithium What does this actually mean?
electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, therefore fluorine is more able to attract electrons then lithium (has a greater pull).
In the h2s molecule which atom is more electonegative?
sure (S)
Is calcium more electronegative than fluorine?
Fluorine is more electronegative than calcium. The electronegativity of calcium is 1. The electronegativity of fluorine is 3.98.
Electronegativity is an idea first thought of by Linus Pauling it tells how easily an atom accepts electrons Of the two elments fluorine or calcium which is more electronegative and why?
Fluorine is more electronegative because it contains fewer electron shells; therefore, the valence shell is closer to the nucleus in the Fluorine atom than in the Chlorine atom. Electronegativity increases going from left to right in a period and decreases going down a group.
Would carbon or fluorine atom be more reactive?
Fluorine would be more reactive. Fluorine is the most reactive element.
The electrons in the bond between hydrogen and fluorine are more strongly attracted to which atom?
They are more strongly attracted to the fluorine. We say that fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen.
Which is the more electronegative atom in bond B-F?
Fluorine is more electronegative. It has the highest electro negativity.
Fluorine is the most electronegative element therefore when it forms bonds with another element the electrons are?
more likely to be pulled towards the fluorine atom. This results in a polar covalent bond, with the fluorine atom having a partial negative charge and the other element having a partial positive charge.
Because the electrons in a molecule of hydrogen fluoride (HF) are more strongly pulled toward the fluorine atom the molecule is nonpolar.?
That statement is incorrect. HF is a polar molecule because fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing the electron density to be pulled closer to the fluorine atom. As a result, HF has a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the fluorine atom.
What is the name of electrons in the outermost shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?
A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?
How many more electrons can fit in the valence shell of a fluorine atom?
One
Why carbon is less electronegative than oxygen?
fluorine is the most electronegative atom . therefore atoms closer to fluorine will be more electronegative.
Is a carbon or a fluoride atom more reactive?
Fluoride is an ion; it is basically fluorine that has already reacted. As such it is fairly stable. Elemental fluorine is much more reactive that carbon.
