Question

Fluorine differs from rest of the halogens in some of its properties. This is due to___________.

(a) its smaller size and high electronegativity

(b) lack of d-orbitals

(c) low bond dissociation energy

(d) All of the these

Answer 1

Answer : (d) All of the above

Explanation :

Fluorine family also known as halogen (Chlorine,  Bromine,  Iodine, etc) family which is differ from rest of the halogens of its family due to : 

(i) its small size

(ii) highest electronegativity,

(iii) low bond dissociation energy and

(iv) absence of d-orbitals in the valence shell.

 

(d) All of the above
