Yes! One of the reasons is that Flourine has 7 valence electrons, meaning that it 'wants' to accept an electron (oxidizing) from the reducing agent more than Oxygen 'wants' to.

Is fluorine combustible?
Yes it is flammable!. Fluorine gas is the most reactive of all the elements and quickly attacks all metals - steel wool bursts into flames when exposed to it! there u go! im sure you wanted to know this so there you go kids or adults.
Is flourine a metal or nonmetal?
Like all of the halogens, Fluorine is very much a nonmetal.
How much stronger is Jupiter's storm than earth's storm?
a lot stronger
Why is a nitrate ion a stronger base than a sulfide ion?
This is not true. The sulfide ion is a stronger base than the nitrate ion. This is because nitrogen and oxygen are very electronegative, This creates a stable anion with very little affinity for hydrogen ions. Sulfur is much less electronegative and so the sulfide ion is less stable. So it has a much higher affinity of a hydrogen ion.
4litre of oxygen is how much percentage of oxygen?
28%
What is the role of an oxidizer in a solid fuel system?
A solid rocket engine uses a fuel and an oxidizer. The oxidizer when burned delivers oxygen to the fuel so that it can burn. Most rockets use oxidizers because when the rocket burns it uses so much oxygen that they need a readily available supply.
Why is lead four iodide unknown?
Lead(IV) iodide, or PbI4 is unknown and not present, because Iodine is not that much strong oxidizer to oxidize Lead or Lead(II) ions to Lead(IV) ions. However, Oxygen and Fluorine have this oxidizing power, and thus forming compounds of Lead(IV).
Does fluorine have weaker or stronger intermolecular forces than iodine?
It depends. If Fluorine is bonded to Hydrogen then it would be greater, having present Hydrogen Bonding-the strongest Intermolecular Force. Iodine,I2, has many more electrons than fluorine, F2,so London dispersion forces are much stronger explaining why fluorine is a gas and iodine is a solid under standard conditions.

With a oxidizer can methane gas be a space rocket propellant?
Absolutely. Various rocket fuels are rated in "Specific Impulse", which is how much kick you get for how much fuel mass (or weight). This strongly influences the choice of fuels. Hydrogen and Oxygen is VERY high. Methane and Oxygen....not so much.
What is the strongest oxidizing agent?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons and an element responsible for this loss is an oxidizing agent, an element which has great affinity for electrons is strong oxidizing agent , Fluorine atom has highest electronegatvity so it is strongest oxidizing element. oxidizing agent oxidizes others and itself becomes reduced.
Is a hydrogen bond stronger than a polar covalent bond?
A hydrogen bond is weaker than a covalent bond.
How much does a gallon of fluorine cost?
As of August 2014, the cost for a gallon of fluorine is $25,600. Fluorine is not generally available for purchase by the public.
Is flourine a metal or nonmetal?
Like all of the halogens, Fluorine is very much a nonmetal.
Why do shuttles need a tank of oxygen?
If you mean on lift off, liquid oxygen is used to fuel the engines to get the shuttle into space. It reacts with liquid hydrogen to create the reaction needed to produce thrust. Normal air would not provide enough oxidizer for the rapid combustion in the shuttle engines. Much smaller tanks of oxygen are used to provide a pressurized living area for the crew to live in during the course of the mission.
What is a word that starts with B that has to do with global warming?
Biodegradable. Organic materials that decomposeWith oxygen, emitting the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2).Without oxygen, emitting the much stronger greenhouse gas, methane (CH4).Biodieselbiofuelbiomassbiogas
What makes fluorine the most reactive element?
Atoms want to have a full outer shell of electrons as this is energetically favorable. Fluorine only needs one to complete its shell. All the halogens do likewise. With fluorine however, the valence electrons are much closer to the nucleus than chlorine, bromine, iodine or astatine. This means there is a stronger pull on electron joining the other valence electrons. This makes fluorine the most reactive element. For the exact reverse reasons francium is the most reactive metal and would react explosively with fluorine. It has only one electron to lose and that electron is a long way from the nucleus. This makes the hold on the electron weak and it is easily lost and hence extremely reactive.
