You're on a roll — (II) Fluorine Fluorine (F) has an atomic number of 9, so it has 7 valence electrons. In a fluorine molecule (F_2), two fluorine atoms share one pair of electrons to form a single covalent bond, and each fluorine atom has three lone pairs of electrons. F × F × ×× ×× × b) With reference to the diagrams in (a), state why fluorine is more reactive than nitrogen. The triple covalent bond in nitrogen (N_2) is very strong and requires a large amount of energy to break, making nitrogen relatively unreactive. The single covalent bond in fluorine (F_2) is much weaker and easier to break, which makes fluorine highly reactive. 22. Study the reaction below and answer the questions that follow. NH_3(g) + H_2O_(l) NH_4(aq)^+ + OH_(aq)^- a) Define the term acid according to Arrhenius. An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions (H^+) or hydronium ions (H_3O^+). b) Identify an acid in the forward reaction. H_2O c) Explain your answer in (b) above. Water (H_2O) acts as an acid because it donates a proton (H^+) to ammonia (NH_3) in the forward reaction, forming the hydroxide ion (OH^-). 23. Give the IUPAC names of the following compounds: (I) CH_3COOCH_2CH_3 Ethyl ethanoate (II) CH_3CH_2COOH Propanoic acid (III) CH_2=C(Br)CH_3 2-bromopropene Send me the next one 📸
