The property which is not true about Fluorine is,
Options
- AMost of its reactions are exothermic.
- BIt forms only one oxo acid.
- CHighest electronegativity.
- DHigh F-F bond dissociation enthalpy.
Correct answer
D. High F-F bond dissociation enthalpy.
Step-by-step solution
Most of the reaction of fluorine is exothermic because fluorine in its elemental state is the most electronegative element in the periodic table. Due to its highest electronegativity, its bond dissociation enthalpy is low. HOF is the only oxoacid of fluorine.
