Why the compounds of fluorine with oxygen are called fluorides of oxygen and not oxides of fluorine?
As fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, fluorine acts as the electron acceptor in the compounds with oxygen. As fluorine becomes partially negative charged and positive for oxygen, they are called fluorides.
What are the compounds of fluorine?
Fluorine forms a very large range of compounds since it is highly reactive (actually it is the most reactive element there is). Teflon and freon are both synthetic fluorine compounds. Fluorine salts such as potassium fluoride are used in toothpaste, or to fluoridate water.
What are 2 compounds fluorine can form?
Lithium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, also known as hydrofluoric acid.
Compounds with the greatest ionic character would form when fluorine reacts with?
cesium
Are fluorine and fluoride related?
Fluorine is a name for the gas and the ion without the extra electron that fluorine will rip from any other (non-noble gas) element. F0 or F2 Fluoride is the name for the fluorine negatively charged ion. F-
Is fluorine common or rare?
The element is common, however; this does not imply a particular molecule is common- such as diatomic fluorine.
Why the compounds of fluorine with oxygen are called fluorides of oxygen and not oxides of fluorine?
As fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, fluorine acts as the electron acceptor in the compounds with oxygen. As fluorine becomes partially negative charged and positive for oxygen, they are called fluorides.
Name some examples of other elements that fluorine makes compounds with?
Fluorine can form compounds with every element except Helium. Many compounds with the noble gases (such as neon fluoride) are pretty unstable and most are very reactive, but they can be formed.
What are the compounds of fluorine?

What is the chemical formula for fluorine dioxide?
Compounds of fluorine and oxygen are: OF2, O2F2, O3F2.
What are some popular organic fluorine compounds?
carbon chlorineOrgano fluorine compounds are organic chemical compounds that contain carbon and fluorine bonded in the polarized and remarkably strong carbon–fluorine bond. Organofluorine compounds are diverse, they can be fluorocarbons, perfluorinated, or aromatic fluoride compounds(such as 2-Bromo-4-fluorotoluene as described in the related link), among other possibilities. These compounds have a wide range of functions and can serve as refrigerants, pharmaceuticals, agrichemicals, surfactants, poisons, or pollutants.
What are the 3 common uses for fluorine?
1. preparation of xenon compounds 2. preparation of uranium fluorides 3. preparation of sulfur hexafluoride
What has the author Murray Hauptschein written?
Murray Hauptschein has written: 'The action of elementary fluorine upon organic compounds' -- subject(s): Aromatic compounds, Fluorine
What other element does krypton make compounds with?
Krypton can form compounds with fluorine, such as krypton difluoride (KrF2). These compounds are usually unstable and have unique properties due to krypton's noble gas nature.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?
It is unlikely for an ionic compound to form between fluorine and carbon because both elements are nonmetals with similar electronegativities. It is more common for covalent compounds to form between nonmetals like fluorine and carbon.
What element can be substituted for hydrogen in organic compounds?
Fluorine
What fluorine is the most common?
Fluorine-19 is the most common isotope of fluorine, accounting for 100% of naturally occurring fluorine. It has 9 protons and 10 neutrons.
