How does fluorine react with ethene?
2 answers:
Option 3: By removing hydrogen because of fluorine's attraction to hydrogen's nucleus.
The reaction of ethene and halogen generally breaks the carbon-carbon double bond and substitution of halogen on carbon takes place, this is known as halogenation reaction. This is in the case of reaction of ethene with chlorine, bromine and iodine. In the case of fluorine, due to high electronegativity it get attracts to the nucleus of hydrogen and form hydrogen fluorine gas. Therefore, halogentaion reaction do not take place in the case of ethene and iodine.
Ethene explosively reacts with fluorine to form carbon and hydrogen fluoride gas. The reaction is as follows:

Se detailed explanation.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since both magnesium and calcium ions are in group IIA, we can review the following similar properties:
- Since both calcium and magnesium are in group IIA they have two valence electrons, it means that the both of them have two electrons at their outer shells.
- They are highly soluble in water when forming ionic bonds with nonmetals such as those belonging to halogens and oxygen's family.
- Calcium has 18 electrons and magnesium 10 which are two less than the total protons (20 and 12 respectively) since the both of them have lost two electrons due their ionized form.
- Their electron configurations are:
It means that the both of them are at the region since it is the last subshell at which their electrons are.
Best regards.
