Question

What is the atomicity of fluorine molecule?

Answer 1

Atomicity

• Atomicity can be defined as the total number of atoms combines to form a molecule.
• atomicity can be calculated by calculating the total number of atoms in a molecule
• For example: In a ${\mathrm{H}}_2$molecule, there are 2 atoms of hydrogen atoms, hence the atomicity is 2

Fluorine

• The fluorine molecule exits as ${\mathrm{F}}_2$.
• Thefluorine molecule is di atomic since it contains 2 fluorine atoms.

Hence the atomicity of fluorine molecule is 2.

$\mathrm{F}-\mathrm{F}$ ${\mathrm{F}}_2$ molecule
