It would form a negative ion... it lacks 1 e in its valence shell., it is easier for F to accept an e than to shed all existing 7.
e= electron
Given that <span>sample a has a higher melting point than sample
b. Therefore, sample a is a longer chain of a </span><span>fatlike solid substance. It could also be that the bonds present in sample a is much stronger which will require more energy to break. Hope this answers the question.</span>
<span>Out of the possible answers for this question, fluorine in the second period is correct. Of the four elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, fluorine has the largest first ionization energy, with a Enthalpy number of 1681.0. Of all the elements, helium has the highest first ionization energy figure.</span>
