Fluorine can not form oxyacids because fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, and oxyacids are formed only from elements that are less electronegative than oxygen.

Why cant fluorine form oxyacids?
in my opinion flourine is very electronegative and it cannot exist in positive oxidation states in its compounds .in oxyacids of halogens ,oxygen carries a negative charge while the halogen carries a positive charge.the electronegativity of flourine is 4,while that of oxygen is 3.5. so due to high value of electronegativity ,flourine shows reluctance to form positive oxidation states and donot form oxyacids........
Fluorine atoms cannot form a double or triple bond because fluorine?
Has a valence of 1.
Can hydrogen and fluorine a group I and group VI element respectively cannot form multiple bonds?
Fluorine is in the group XVII. Both are monovalent elements.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and phosphorous?
As the electronegativity difference between phosphorus and fluorine is less than 1.7 according to Pauling's Scale, they cannot form an ionic bond.
What is the highest valency element?
The highest oxidation state for an element is +7, but this is not unique to any one element: All of the halogen elements except fluorine have oxyacids with this oxidation state.
Will fluorine form bonds?
Fluorine gains an electron. Fluorine is very reactive and will form bonds.
Can fluorine ever form a non polar covalent bond?
Yes, fluorine can form a non polar bond, only with another fluorine atom, in fact fluorine gas.
Does fluorine form monatomic anions?
Yes, fluorine does form monatomic anions with formula F-1.
What type of bond that will form between fluorine and fluorine?
Nonpolar covalent.
Why fluorine does not form oxyacid?
Because Fluorine does not have d sub shell.
Two fluorine atoms form a compound with a covalent bond What is this compound called?
Two fluorine atoms can not form a compound they simply form a [molecule]
Will fluorine atoms form bonds?
Fluorine gains an electron. Fluorine is very reactive and will form bonds.
