Hence, in order of decreasing bond strength:

Fluorine is an anomaly.
Bond strength decreases from chlorine to iodine as down the group, the atomic size becomes larger and thus the valence electron orbitals become more diffused, causing the overlap of orbitals to become less effective. Therefore the halogen-halogen bond becomes weaker.
Fluorine is an exception due to its extremely small size. The F-F bond length is so short that the lone pairs of electrons on the fluorine atoms repel each other and weakens the F-F bond.
I hope that answers your question.

What do the symbol ff stand for?
It generally means "and following". It is used for example in citations and reference literature when the reference is to "page 15 and the following pages", then the annotation is ".... p 15 ff."
Lewis structure for C2F6?
To draw the Lewis structure for C2H4, the total number of valence electrons must be known. Carbon has 4 and hydrogen has 1, making a grand total of 12 e- (4*2 + 4*1). All electrons are shared within bonds in this compound. Carbon and Carbon are double bonded to each other, with each carbon having two hydrogens attached. Each element in this arrangement has a full outer shell. Hydrogen has 2 and each carbon has 8.

How many moles are in 3.4 10 to the power of 23 molecules of H2SO4?
Simply divide by the number that signifies moles of any thing; Avogadro's number. 3.4 X 10^23/6.022 X 10^23 = 0.56 moles of H2SO4
Why are electrons in a cathode ray tube deflected by magnetic and electric fields?
By nature electrons are charged particles (with a -1 charge). Also there's an established relationship between electricity, which involves the flow of electrons, and magnetism, known as electromagnetism. Ampere's right-hand rule suggests the magnetic field moves in a corkscrew direction perpendicularly in reference to the direction of the flow of electrons (electrical current).
Is ff a true word?
No, "ff" is not considered a true word in English. It is typically used as an acronym for various phrases rather than standing alone as a word with a specific meaning.

What type of address is FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF?
That's called the "MAC address" or "Hardware address". It's a unique set of numbers assigned to a network device. Anything that access the internet whether phones, wireless cards, computers, etc, all have a MAC address. The address with all one's (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF) is the broadcast address. All devices on the physical segment will see and respond to a message with that destination.
What are the genotypes of offspring from an FF X ff cross?
The offspring from an FF X ff cross will all have the genotype Ff.This is because they receive one allele from each parent, and in this case they can only receive an F from the FF parent and an f from the ff parent.
