To be the central atom in a compound, the atom must be able to simultaneously bond to at least two other atoms. He, F, and H cannot serve as central atoms in a Lewis structure
An atom will be the central atom only if if forms two bonds. Hydrogen and fluorine will form only one bond with other atoms and hence cannot be at the centre.
Yes, fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen : it has the highest elemental electronegativity by the Allen method, at 4.193 to hydrogen's 2.300 (only neon is higher than fluorine, but it cannot be calculated using Pauling units because it forms no ordinary compounds).
Fluorine is in the group XVII. Both are monovalent elements.
No, the compound CH3CH2CH2CH3 (butane) does not have any hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. Therefore, it cannot form hydrogen bonds.
Because if it did it would be Fluorine
Fluorine can be extracted through the electrolysis of an anhydride such as potassium fluoride, but cannot be separated chemically because the fluorine reacts with any newly introduced agent.

A hydrocarbon with all the hydrogen atoms replaced with either chlorine atoms or fluorine atoms. They cannot be all chlorine or all fluorine atoms, but must be some mixture.
No, the compound CH3CH2CH2CH3 (butane) does not have any hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. Therefore, it cannot form hydrogen bonds.
HOBrFINCl Hydrogen Oxygen Bromine Fluorine Iodine Nitrogen Chlorine These when in elemental state cannot stand alone so the are written at H2, O2, ect.
Has a valence of 1.
No you cannot make a pure sample of Fluorine because it is an earth made element.
Fluorine is so electronegative that there isn't really anything that can oxidize it.
Because if it did it would be Fluorine
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.
Fluorine can be extracted through the electrolysis of an anhydride such as potassium fluoride, but cannot be separated chemically because the fluorine reacts with any newly introduced agent.
All elements can exist as individual atoms in excited states. However, at standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine exists as diatomic molecules.
