Question

What kind of reaction occurs when fluorine reacts with water?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:combination

Answer 2

Small amount of fluorine release oxygen and large amount of fluorine release ozone on reaction with water (Combination reaction)

Explanation:

Fluorine is the high electronegative atom among all elements in the periodic table.

• Due to high electronegativity fluorine will react with water in different way compare to another halogens.
• When less amount of fluorine is reacted with water, then it releases oxygen gas as follows.
• $2F_2+2H_2O \to 4HF+O_2$    
• When excess amount of fluorine is reacted with water, then it releases ozone gas as follows.
• $3F_2 + 3H_2O \to 6HF + O_3$
