Question

Which one of the mixtures would most likely produce a chemical reaction?
F2 + At- OR At2 + F-

Answer 1

Answer:

F₂ + At⁻

Explanation:

Astatine is the only Halogen that does not exist as a diatomic molecule. One Astatine atom would have a charge of 1⁻. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, and therefore very reactive and commonly forms a diatomic molecule.
