At first glance, it may look like hydrogen and the halogens are similar elements. With similar electron configurations and molecular properties (hydrogen and all halogen elements form diatomic molecules), there are definitely some parallels between hydrogen and the halogen elements. A closer look at these elements, however, reveals that hydrogen must remain separate from the halogen elements.

Types

While hydrogen is a single element with unique properties of its own, the fluorine is a non- metal with the characteristics of halogens.

Features

Hydrogen and fluorine are all non-metallic elements, but they behave very differently. Hydrogen often combines with negative, non-metallic ions to form acids and organic molecules. Fluorine, on the other hand, only form negatively-charged ions that react with metallic, positive ions to make ionic compounds like salts.

Similarities

The principal similarity between hydrogen and fluorine is in electron configuration. Hydrogen has one electron in its electron shell, needing one additional electron to fill that shell. The fluorine all have seven electrons in the outer electron shells. These electron shells all need eight electrons for completion, so the fluorine are also missing a single electron. The effect of this is that both hydrogen and the fluorine elements can form negative ions by the addition of one electron to the outer energy shell. Hydrogen, however, also forms a positive ion by losing its one electron; no halogen does this.

Identification

In its simplest natural state on Earth, hydrogen is a diatomic, molecular gas (H2). This gas is odorless, colorless and flammable. Only fluorine as a halogen naturally occur on Earth. Both are toxic and fluorine is greenish in color, while chlorine is green.

Size

One of the main underlying causes of the differences between hydrogen and the halogens is the size of the atoms involved. Hydrogen atoms are the smallest of all the elements, consisting of only one proton and one electron. Fluorine, whose atoms have nine protons and electrons, as well as 10 neutron.

Answer:

Hey!!

Properties of Fluorine :

Fluorine is the most reactive and the most electronegative of all the elements. Fluorine is a pale yellow, diatomic, highly corrosive, flammable gas, with a pungent odor. It is the lightest halogen. It reacts violently with water to produce oxygen and the extremely corrosive hydrofluoric acid.

Properties of Hydrogen :

At standard temperature and pressure hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. Hydrogen is very flammable and burns with an invisible flame. It burns when it comes into contact with oxygen. The byproduct of a hydrogen and oxygen explosion is water or H2 O.
