Can HF be decomposed by a chemical change?

No, hydrofluoric acid (HF) cannot be decomposed by a chemical change because it is a stable compound. Physical methods are typically used to separate HF into its constituent elements.


Is there any compound in which fluorine has 1 oxidation state?

HF


Is the hf element a solid liquid or a gas?

HF [note correct capitalization] is not an element but a compound, since it contains two kinds of atoms. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure.


Facts about the element fluorine?

It is a halogen, its most common oxidation state is -1, it is a gas at room temperature (F2), It forms a weak acid (hydrofluoric acid, HF), and it has seven valence electrons.

What is most likely to be a solid at room temperature na2s hf nh3 n2 h2o?

NH3 (ammonia) is most likely to be a gas at room temperature, while N2 (nitrogen) and H2O (water) are most likely to be liquids. Na2S (sodium sulfide) and HF (hydrogen fluoride) are solid at room temperature.


The forces that account for HF being a liquid while H2 and F2 are gases are known as?

intermolecular forces. In the case of HF, hydrogen bonding exists between HF molecules, which results in stronger intermolecular attractions compared to the London dispersion forces present in H2 and F2. These stronger intermolecular forces in HF allow it to exist as a liquid at room temperature.


What is the compound formed between H and F?

This compound is hydrogen fluoride (HF).


What is an HF molecule?

An HF molecule is composed of one hydrogen atom bonded to one fluorine atom. It is a colorless and odorless gas at room temperature. HF is classified as a weak acid and is commonly used in industrial processes such as etching and cleaning of metals.


What is the compound HF?

HF is hydrogen fluoride.


KE equals hf minus hfo what does hf stand for?
