Why is fluoride ion larger than the fluorine atom?

The addition of an electron in Fluorine atom makes it fluoride ion so no of electrons are higher than protons , the extra electron produces repulsive force in outermost shell and electrons move away from nucleus and hence radius of electronic cloud is larger than fluorine atom.


Which is more reactive fluorine or nitrogen?

Fluorine is the most reactive element period. So, it is therefore more reactive than carbon. However, as carbon forms the basis of organic molecules, people come across its compounds more often.


Is the ionization energy of chlorine higher than that of fluorine?

In the periodic table of elements, fluorine and iodine are in the same column, but fluorine is in the second, iodine in the fifth row. That means fluorine has only nine electrons flying around in orbitals while iodine has 53 of them. Ionization is the called a process during which a single electron is abstracted - we're now talking about the 1st ionization energy, which is much higher for fluorine. Well, as it only has nine electrons scattered in the orbitals (but according laws, of course), they do not really influence the repelling - attracting actions between the positive center and the other electrons beside them. For iodine with 53 electrons, they really do interfere with the attraction of other electrons AND as the outmost electrons (which are the ones taken away by ionization) are in those orbitals which are at the biggest distance to the center - for 53 electrons the outmost orbitals is at a much bigger distance... both results in a smaller attraction of the electrions at max distance from the center... so for iodine you need less energy to perform ionization.


Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and chlorine why or why not?

No, they form a covalent compound because there is not a great enough difference in electronegativity for one element to completely pull the electrons away from the other.


How do you store fluorine?

Fluorine is stored in Teflon (polytetrafluoroetheneor -ethylene) containers. This is due to two reasons:1. Nearly all containers will corrode with fluorine in it; even glass containers will corrode. But since the Teflon polymer already contains fluorine, the fluorine that is stored in it can't react with the container.2. The Teflon polymer is very non-reactive(giving it its "non-stick"characteristic) due to the strong bonds between the carbon and fluorine atoms, meaning it can withstand reactive and corrosive chemicals like fluorine.

Which element will attract electrons more strongly fluorine or carbon?

Fluorine will attract electrons more strongly than carbon. This is because fluorine has a higher electronegativity value, meaning it has a greater ability to attract and hold onto electrons compared to carbon.


Why florine oxidation number not more than-1?

Fluorine has the most electro negativity.so it does not give away electrons.


Does a non metal give away electrons in a chemical reaction?

no


In chemical notation Ca2 plus means what?

calcium ions that has lost electrons. It will give away electrons.


Hydrogen fluoride is ionic or covalent why?

Hydrogen fluoride is a covalent compound because it is formed by the sharing of electrons between the hydrogen and fluorine atoms. In an ionic compound, electrons are transferred from one atom to another to form ions.


What is the difference between an electron donor and an electron acceptor in chemical reactions?

In chemical reactions, an electron donor is a substance that gives away electrons, while an electron acceptor is a substance that receives electrons. This transfer of electrons is essential for the formation of chemical bonds and the completion of reactions.


Why did the protons did not participate during chemical bonding?

Chemical bonding only involves the outermost level of electrons, valence electrons. The actual reaction takes place far away from the nucleus of the atom where the protons are. There are reactions that involve the protons, though, but they are nuclear reactions, not chemical reactions. They are usually achieved through high-speed collision in labs.


What chemical changes involve breaking and making chemical bonds?

Breaking of bonds but also formation of new bonds.


What happens when iron turns into fe2 plus in a chemical reaction?

it gives two of its electrons away.


Why fluorine and chlorine act as decolorizing agent?

Why fluorine and chlorine act as decolourizing agents? Answer : They can oxidize dyes to colorless substances. Litmus and universal indicators can be decolorized. Chlorine is used in the bleaching powder which bleaches the substances due to oxidizing capabilities of chlorine.

Do metals gives away electrons in chemical reactions?

Yes, metals give away electrons in chemical reactions due to their tendency to lose electrons and form positive ions. This process allows metals to achieve a stable electronic configuration by reaching a full outer shell of electrons.
