Fluorine Definition and 14 Threads

Google top result says Toyota is researching Fluorine batteries that they claim will have 7x energy density of LiIon. However my textbook table of reduction potential gives lithium as higher than fluorine. Any idea what they base their claims on? Thanks Joe

Summary:: Hypothetical discussion of a method to turn oxygen into fluorine through the use of another chemical and also discussing the biological effects of fluorine. Hello, I'd like to start this by saying my knowledge of chemistry is extremely basic. I barely graduated chemistry in high...

Hi Folks, I have been trying to find data on the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene and fluorine. I have found the data for oxygen but am curious about the use of pure fluorine in stochiometric conditions and the resulting upper heating value when the oxidant is acetylene. I am happy to...

Can anyone explain to me why angular momentum of F-19 equals to J=1/2, but if we calculate J with the shell model the result is J=5/2. Thank you

Fluorine ions are negatively charged, and help prevent tooth decay by forming fluoraptite when substituting the lost hydroxide ions in the tooth enamel. Since they are both negative, it is successfully substituted. However, it was told that acid on the tooth causes that decay. My question is...

They make fluorine, according to a large new study. Link: ScienceNOW

My notes states that fluorine is too highly electronegative and hence clings on too tightly to its lone pair of electrons and so it cannot accept hydrogen bonds as well. However, it also stated that a hydrogen bond will be stronger if the electron density on the electron rich atom the stronger...

I was trying to calculate the ##^{19}_{9}F_{10}## nuclear spin using the nuclear shell method. From what i know the nuclear spin for a nucleous with odd ##A## is the total angular momentum ##J## of the stand-alone nucleon: P: ##(1d_{5 \backslash 2})^1## (stand-alone nucleon) N: ##(1d_{5...

I've learned the trends in electronegativity, but why is fluorine more electronegative than sodium? What is the real reasoning behind it?

A question in my test asked which of the acyl halide will hydrolyse faster in an aqueous solution of NaOH Well the asnwer is acyl iodide becasue iodine is a better leaving group( the solution says so) But i don't understand - fluorine will be hydrated to the greatest extent so removal of...

Every water molecule is H-bonded with up to four other molecules (two through its two lone pairs, and two through its two hydrogen atoms. These 4 intermolecular hydrogen bonds are what contribute to water's high boiling point.. My textbook compares this with Fluorine, which it says can...

I have a couple questions but first some background: Fluorine 18 is used in PET scans as a beta+ emitter. Generally it is created with an 11-18 MeV cyclotron by bombarding Oxygen 18 with protons. I read a paper that said there was an alternative way to produce F 18 by the NEON-20(DEUTERON...

Hi, I'm a novice at quantum and I was just wondering why an electrically neutral fluorine atom needs to absorb an electron to make itself electrically unbalanced with a new -1 charge? In our general chemistry class, the explanation was that the fluorine atom for some unexplained...

In medicinal chemistry fluorine atoms are often used on scaffolds in order to increase metabolic stability of a particular compound. The problem with working with reactants that contain fluorine is that they are a lot of times very volatile. For example, I am thinking along the lines of...
