2. O Breaking bonds releases energy and is endothermic.
3. O pull electrons away from other elements
<h3>Endothermic v/s Exothermic:</h3>
An endothermic reaction occurs when <u>energy is absorbed </u>from the surroundings in the form of heat. While an exothermic reaction is one in which <u>energy is released</u> from the system into the surroundings.
In an endothermic reaction, the reaction mixture absorbs heat from the surroundings. Therefore, <u>the products will have a higher energy than the reactants</u> and <em>ΔH will be positive</em>. In an exothermic reaction, the reaction mixture <u>releases heat to the surroundings</u>.
Fluorine is a member of Halogen family having one electron less to acquire stable noble gas configuration. Thus in order to attain one more electron it will gain one electron so as to be stably complete.
the more electronegative an element is the more greedy it is for electrons, florine has a score of 3.98 which is the highest on the table. Meaning that it will always take the electrons from the other element
