Fluorine is the 9th element on the periodic table. It is a light yellow gas and is most commonly known for helping your teeth. I choiced this element because it has the highest electronegativity. But what other traits does fluorine have? Read my ABC book and find out.
A is for…
Atomic number
The atomic number of fluorine is 9. The most common isotope of fluorine is 19F and 18F. Fluorine is more stable in when it has 10 neutrons. Fluorine is a halogen and is placed on the right near the noble gas neon.
B is for… Bonds
Fluorine can bond with almost every element! It can create an ionic bond by bonding with another element such as sodium to create NaF. It can also use covalent bonds when bonding. Hydrogen …show more content…
It can be found in your toothpaste, fluoride, and drinking water. Fluoride helps fight off acidic foods and bacteria around the enamel. It also helps break down the sugars in your mouth that could result in a cavity.
U is for… …………….uses
There are many uses for fluorine. Fluorine is found in toothpaste, drinking water. Fluorine is used in these items because fluorine can help with teeth decay. It can also help avoid cavities. That is why the dentist use fluoride. It can also be used a medication.
V is for… …………....vaporization
Fluorine’s heat of vaporization is 3.2698kJ per mole. The heat of vaporization for water is 2257 Kj per Kg. The heat of vaporization describes how much energy is needed to go from a liquid to a gas or vice versa.Fluorine has a lower heat of vaporization because it requires less energy to break ITM than it does to break hydrogen Bonds.
W is for… wavelengths
Wavelengths have to do with the color of the light emitted when an electron falls to the ground state. F2 has 7 different wavelengths. 6 of the wave lengths are around 606 å. The last one is around 485 å. Fluorine the element also has 7 waves. The amount of electrons makes sense because it has 7 valence electrons.
X is for… xtra cool facts Fluorine is a rare element because it can that can attack
