Fluorine is so electronegative that there isn't really anything that can oxidize it.

Can fluorine have a plus 1 oxidation number?

No. Fluorine has only two oxidation states. 0 in F2 and -1 in fluoride ion


Can hydrogen and fluorine a group I and group VI element respectively cannot form multiple bonds?

Hydrogen and fluorine can form multiple bonds, such as in the case of hydrogen fluoride (HF), which has a covalent bond where fluorine shares one electron with hydrogen. This bond is strong due to the high electronegativity of fluorine.


How is fluorine extracted from its raw material?

Fluorine is typically extracted from its raw material, fluorite (calcium fluoride), through a process called electrolysis. In this process, fluorite is first converted to fluorine gas by heating it with acid and then electrolyzed in a specially designed cell to separate the fluorine gas from other byproducts. This method requires high temperatures and careful control to ensure safety and efficiency in the extraction process.


Why oxidation number of fluorine is always -1?

Flourine has an oxidation number of -1 one because it only needs one electron to become stable ( to have neon's stractures), Hydrogen is the same thing. one electron away from being stable. oxidation numbers of elements are their electric charges on the periodic table. O2(g) has an oxidation number of 0, along with all the diatomics, Oxyden in a compound has ON of of -2, H has +1, the rest you calculate using algebra.


Why fluorine does not form oxyacid?

Fluorine does not naturally form oxyacids because it is the most electronegative element and cannot easily lose electrons to form a stable positive oxidation state. This makes it challenging for fluorine to form covalent bonds with oxygen in a way that would lead to the formation of oxyacids.


What is the difference between F 2 and F?

It depends on what context you are referring to, however, for these purposes, we will assume that this is a chemistry question. In chemistry, F2 is the formula for fluorine gas. Elemental fluorine consists of molecules in which two fluorine atoms are covalently bonded, meaning that share electrons. Fluorine is an extremely reactive toxic gas that will readily set most substances on fire. F- refers to the fluoride ion, which consists of a single fluorine atom with an extra electron, giving it a negative charge. As an ion it cannot exist on its own, but must be accompanied by some positive ion such as sodium (Na+). Such fluoride compounds are far more stable than fluorine gas.


Are there any isomers for HF?

There are no isomers for HF (hydrogen fluoride) because it is a simple diatomic molecule composed of one hydrogen atom and one fluorine atom. Its structure is linear and cannot be rearranged to form isomers.


Why nitrophenol cannot be prepared by oxidation of cumene?

Most obviously because there's no nitrogen in it; you're going to have a hard time making NITROphenol without nitrogen.


Is floride a non metal or a metal?

Fluorine is a non-metal in the periodic table. It is a highly reactive element that exists as a diatomic molecule in its natural form. It is corrosive and can form compounds with almost all other elements.


Fluorine atoms cannot form a double or triple bond because fluorine?

Has a valence of 1.


How do you make a pure sample of fluorine?

No you cannot make a pure sample of Fluorine because it is an earth made element.


Can heat kill fluoride?

No, at most it will only concentrate it. This chemical harm you no more.
