Question

write down the anomalous behaviour of fluorine (point wise format)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The anomalous behaviour of fluorine is due to its small size.

highest electronegativity, low F-F bond dissociation enthalpy,

and non availability of d- orbitals in valence shell.

Most of the reactions of fluorine are exothermic (due to the small and strong bond formed by it with other elements).

Explanation: Small atomic size

Highest electronegativity

Low bond dissociation enthalpy

Absence of d-orbitals in the valence shell

It is the most reactive of all halogens. It shows a oxidation state of -1 and do not have any other oxidation state due to absence of d-orbitals. Hydrogen bonding is observed in fluoride molecules.It has the highest electrode potential.
