Chapter EH, Problem 51R

Solution

Interpretation : Fluorine is the most reactive of all the elements to be explained.

Concept Introduction : The halogen group of elements includes the element fluorine. $1s^{2}2s^{2}3p^5$ is the electronic configuration.

Fluorine is the most reactive of all the elements because of its spontaneous nature, ability to attain stability, and higher electronegativity value.

At room temperature, fluorine is a gas.

Fluorine gas is a light-yellow color.

The periodic table's most electronegative element is fluorine.

As a result, it has the strongest tendency to draw electrons.

The size of fluorine is small.

There is a need for only one electron to attain stability due to which the reactivity is high.

Fluorine reacts spontaneously with other elements.
