What is the general term for the process where fluorine atoms are converted to fluoride ions?

The general term for the process where fluorine atoms are converted to fluoride ions is called fluorination.


When strongly electronegative atoms like fluorine bond to atoms with a lower electronegativity like hydrogen what happens to the atoms?

As posed, the question makes no sense. Because fluorine is the most electronegative of all elements, absolutely anything that it bonds to must inevitably be less electronegative. So no general comment or answer is possible beyond what follows from its electronegativity - it has a high tendancy to gain an electron.


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

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.


Why EA of fluorine is less than chlorine?

Generally electron affinity goes up as you go from left to right across the periodic table, and decreases as you go down a column. However, fluorine is an exception -- and the element with the highest electron affinity is chlorine (note that the most electronegative element is fluorine however).The reason that the electron affinity is not as high as might otherwise be predicted for fluorine is that it is an extremely small atom, and so it's electron density is very high. Adding an additional electron is therefore not quite as favorable as for an element like chlorine where the electron density is slightly lower (due to electron-electron repulsion between the added electron and the other electrons in the electron cloud).Note that there are a number of other exceptions to the general rule of electron affinity increasing towards the upper right corner -- see the Related Questions links to the left for an explanation of some of those other exceptions.See also the Web Links to the left for more information about electron affinities and the fluorine-chlorine exception.


Why are fluorine elements more similar to bromine than neon?

The chemical properties of an element are largely determined by the number of valence or outer shell electrons it has. In general, elements will react to obtain a stable octet, meaning 8 valence electrons. Neon already has 8 electrons and so is largely chemically inert. Fluorine and Bromine each have 7 valence electrons, giving them somewhat similar chemical properties. Both are highly reactive.

What is the largest atom between Carbon Boron Lithium and Fluorine?

Fluorine is the largest atom among Carbon, Boron, Lithium, and Fluorine. This is because atomic size generally increases down a group in the periodic table, and Fluorine is lower in the periodic table compared to Carbon, Boron, and Lithium.


How many cc in 125 IUs?

An international unit (IU) depends on the the substance and there is no general formula for conversion.


How many milliletersl are 80 milligrams?

Liters or milliliters is a measure of volume; grams or milligrams is a measure of mass. You can't do a general conversion; you can do a conversion for specific substances, if you know the density of a substance.


What would be the most reactive out of Fluorine or Chlorine?

Fluorine is more reactive than chloride. In general, reactivity increases as you ascend a column and as you move to the right in a period (ignoring the noble gases on the far right of the periodic table).


Why does boron have a higher ionization energy than fluorine?

Because fluorine's size is lower than that of iodine, it has a greater ionization energy than iodine. Fluorine, on the other hand, appears to have a smaller shielding effect. As a result, fluorine's nucleus attracts more valence electrons than iodine's.


How common is conversion disorder?

The prevalence of conversion disorder is 5%-14% of general hospitalized patients, 1%-3% of patients referred to outpatient psychiatric clinics, and 5%-25% of psychiatric outpatients.


What is the general term for the processes in your environment that threatin homeostasis?

The general term for processes in the environment that threaten homeostasis is "stressors." These stressors can include physical, emotional, or environmental factors that disrupt the body's balance and trigger a stress response.
