Can you use molecular orbital theory to explain why fluorine is such a highly reactive gas?

1 answer:

7 0

The F2 molecular orbital diagram shows 4e- are in the highest energy antibonding (destabilizing) molecular orbitals resulting in a bond order = 1.

Single bonds are easier to break and therefore more reactive. So the answer is yes.

Answer:

The most acidic solution had a pH of 3.27.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to keep in mind that the lower the pH of a solution is, the more acidic the solution is.

If among the pH readings across the measured breakfast drinks, the lowest one was 3.27 (as the problem tells us with the range), then that drink was the most acidic one.

Conversely, the least acidic one had a pH of 3.88.
