The negative electron gain enthalpy of chlorine (∆egH =-349kJmol-1 ) is more than that of fluorine (∆egH= -328kJmol-1 ). This means that an atom of chlorine has a greater attraction for the outside electron than in case of fluorine. Therefore, chlorine can be converted to chloride ion more readily as compared to fluorine forming fluoride ion.

Assign reasons for the following : (i) In liquid state, hydrogen chloride is a stronger acid than hydrogen fluoride.

(i) It is due to (a) Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in HF. (b) Higher H—F bond dissociation enthalpy than H—Cl. (ii) As P—P single bond (213 kJ mol-1) in P4 is much weaker than...

Fluorine is a stronger oxidising agent than chlorine in aqueous solution

(b) Except ionisation potential other factors are true to explain the oxidising (strong) behaviour of F2 .

Although the H-bonding in hydrogen fluoride is much stronger than that in water, yet water has a much higher boiling point than hydrogen fluoride.

This is because hydrogen bonding is multidimensional in water whereas in HF it is linear.

Why is fluorine (F2) more reactive than chlorine (Cl2)?

 F2 is more reactive than Cl2 due to greater repulsion in the non-bonded electron pairs in the molecule of F2 as compared to Cl2 therefore the bond cleavage in fluorine...

The most reactive among the halogens is (a) Fluorine (b) Chlorine (c) Bromine (d) Iodine

(a) Fluorine is the most reactive among all halogens. However the reactivity deceases from F2 to I2 (from top to bottom of group) may be attributed to  (1) Low dissociation enthalpies  (2)...
